in that case, it isnt a good idea to have something like:
KF5_INSTALL_LOCALEDIR to avoid the confusion?

the mentioned package is just a plasma5 plasmoid that should install its 
translations at /usr/share/locale/kf5 (according to openSUSE directory 
tree). In order to achieve this in openSUSE at its cmake main file we use:

KDE_INSTALL_LOCALEDIR/kf5

but this from distro to distro creates breakage. This is why I am asking if aKF5_INSTALL_LOCALEDIR would be a good idea. regards, michail
