The issue is known, and AFAIU triggered by moving from Glib's gettext to upstream gettext (see also the brief discussion in <https://code.launchpad.net/~jjardon/inkscape/autotools/+merge/77850>).

Quoting my comment (#27) from bug #992047:

AFAIU this is fixed by adding the file po/LINGUAS (same information formerly stored in the variable "ALL_LINGUAS" in configure.ac).

After adding the file, the translation files (*.mo) are processed and installed, but gettext still gets the destination directory wrong (DATADIRNAME is 'lib' instead of 'share'), at least on OS X (possibly related to bug #398571 (?)).
