This would normally be handled at the system level in linux. (and I suspect 
windows as well, but I've never used any gnome stuff there.) Copying just 
meld's translation files isn't sufficient, as meld is depends on translations 
from the rest of the gnome system as well.

On linux you would typically go through the system settings/control panel 
(`gnome-language-selector` or something like that) options for language/locale 
to install and set what language you want to use system-wide, and gnome 
applications like meld will automatically pick that up and use the correct 
translations.

You can also override the locale for a specific application via the 
environment, if you want a particular app to use a different language than the 
rest of the system. In that case you need to make sure the language files are 
already installed, though...you'd need at least the `language-pack-gnome-de` 
package and any dependencies, maybe some others too. Then you could launch meld 
in german like:
LANG=de_DE.utf8 meld &

In addition to Andrew's suggestions above, last I checked our UI translations 
simply don't work on Windows, I'm sorry. I can't remember the exact issue, but 
I think it was something to do with us missing DLLs and not having appropriate 
fallback code.

cheers,
Kai
