The translation file from the system directory is not being picked up

[AlexanderZhirov]

I generated a <myprogram>.mo file and placed it in /usr/share/locale/<lang>/. The locale on my system matches the translation file. Why isn’t it being loaded automatically?

I realized why it doesn't load automatically. It would probably be more convenient to use loading from the system directory by default.

You're probably right. I am not on a Posix system. Would you be able to produce a patch that fixes this for you? This should likely be platform dependent.
