Flask-JSONLocale library is used to localize Flask-based apps. Its users include Watch Translations or Commons Mass Description.

Problem

Flask-JSONLocale currently gets the path to MESSAGES_DIR config variable from current working directory. That means you need to run the app from the directory app.py is in, otherwise, relative MESSAGES_DIR isn't likely to work.

Proposed solution

Make Flask-JSONLocale always derrive relative MESSAGES_DIR from where app.py is, not from current working directory. Please note absolute MESSAGE_DIR should be allowed.
