Yeah, it's this file, not a directory. In fact the name and location of the 
file doesn't matter because…

This is really cp, meaning you copy your version of po file to the guix source 
hierachy. This replace the existing one. Contrary to other po files, the 
manual's po file is not loaded at runtime. We use po4a to generate the 
translated manuals at build time. That's why it's necessary to have a copy of 
the guix sources if you want to build it.

That's also the reason why the place you store your own version of the file 
doesn't matter. As long as you copy it from whatever directory it's in to the 
proper location insile the guix source tree, it's fine.
