So if the user installs an app with the flatpak CLI, should
gnome-software "repair" the app and also install the required locales
too?

wfm, thanks.

flatpak remote-ls just shows me:

org.gnome.gedit.Locale

I'm confused what this is; if I install this do I get all locales?
`flatpak install gnome-apps org.gnome.gedit.Locale --subpath=fr` might
be what I want, but then I need a way to list sub-paths for things
that are not installed, otherwise I'm guessing the install is going to
blow up if I just pass it all subpaths that the user wants (e.g.
['fr','en','random']. So basically I need to be able to:

1. List subpaths installed already (flatpak_installed_ref_get_subpaths?)
2. List subpaths available for a given app that's not installed, so I
can add it to the list of things to be installed
3. Be able to specify the subpath when installing the locale
(flatpak_installation_install_full?)

Is there API I can use for 2? Or will
flatpak_installation_install_full() do sane things if a subpath is not
available?
