I think the piece you're missing is running autopoint for the i18n
stuff... but you don't need to run all this steps separately:
./autogen.sh should do it for you: have you tried simply running that
script?

Sorry about that: running autogen.sh, if present, is (or was, at least)
such a common practice that nobody had asked in 20 years :)

Please let me know if it helps!

Cheers,
