I cannot test it easily now.

I'll comment the new thing forgetting about the old one (doesn't look
right)

(I'll use shell variables in a bit "on my own way")

AFAIK the files are in po/$lang.{po,mo}, right? (at least in
my system without using another directory for the building, I need to
look in the other issue soon)

I thought that make install was copying from po/$lang.mo to
/usr/share/locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo, but you are copying already
from some structure in $localedir/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo. What am I missing?

It has been a while that I have not done these things, so sorry to be
more an "askwer" than "answerer".
