Yuri,
this method of yours actually works perfectly!
Is it possible to extend this script to use multiple locations as there are
at least 2 ...

   - /usr/share/locale/da/LC_MESSAGES/
   - /usr/share/locale-langpack/da/LC_MESSAGES/

and to also include .mo and .po files.

Anyhow, thank you very much, it is usable as in this form also!
Best,
Matej
