Could you send the details of your git repository? (I don't have it
handy)

To recieve the branch for-carles initially you do:
 git clone git://repo.or.cz/grub2/phcoder.git
  cd phcoder/
 git checkout -b for-carles origin/for-carles
Later to update do:
git pull
Alternatively you find the attached patch

thanks :-)

As far as I remember, gettext utilities uses a shell variable to search
for the .mo file (or to the directory where the .mo file is located). So
yes, we could test if /usr/locale/share/grub exists and failback to
/usr/share/locale/grub, etc.
(I can do something like this during the weekend)

I leave it to you since I'm not familiar with DISTLIST, etc.

ok. Remember  to pull the updates

ok. I think that adding Gettext to Grub is not a very BIG patch itself,
but it touches many places (Grub itself, Scripts, building system) that
makes difficult to prepare only one patch for everything.

Make several patches. It's  also much better for review and goes faster
