Great !

.mo are not be shipped within sources. They are generated files, just
like a .c produces a .o, a .po is compiled into a .mo / .gmo.

You don't need to init anything or provide a .pot.
Just "cd po && intltool-update fr" will output/update a fr.po file.
Cyprien and i could help you but we haven't find the right SVN checkout
URI yet. I will eventually be interested into UI polishing.

I have not tested Cyprien's patch but i've told him that the setlocale
call looked wrong to me. As perldoc says,

setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "");

is enough (just like in C)

There's no need to mess with any env variables.
