This particular patch is only for changes to Makefile.am at present:

  - building the error pages from .po when 'make dist' or 'make all'
(new to errors/) or 'make translate' (new) are run.
  - installing the pre-translated pages on 'make install'
  - removing them on 'make uninstall'.

Henriks suggestion, drags in configure.in next round.
