Dear Maintainer,

The message catalog for Norwegian Bokmål is installed in
/usr/share/locale/nb_NO/LC_MESSAGES/gajim.mo
(or /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gajim/data/locale/nb_NO/LC_MESSAGES/gajim.mo
in newer versions).

This has the effect that for users who set LANGUAGE=nb
(per the documentation at
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/The-LANGUAGE-variable.html)
the message catalog is not found.
Norwegian Bokmål is spoken only in Norway (not Sweden, not Denmark);
therefore there is no point in storing the message catalog only in
/usr/share/locale/nb_NO/ and not under /usr/share/locale/nb/ .

The file should be moved to
/usr/share/locale/nb/LC_MESSAGES/gajim.mo
(or /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gajim/data/locale/nb/LC_MESSAGES/gajim.mo
in newer versions).
