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 (?)).

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>).
