It's expected that the files are not found when you run the game from
that directory, it's something related to how Pingus/gettext search for
their files.

Well, this seems to explain what's wrong.

I'm not sure but I think it's something in glibc that needs to be
configured. Why do you want german support with danish working?

If you get only parts of the translation visible, it's often helpfull to
run make update-po and make install a few times, did solve the problems
for me most of the time. Right now I don't get it to show me the
translations for --help  for example - don't know why. I expect this bug
to be gone someday without me doing anything (conciously). :-)
