I've actually dumped this error message in a local gettext branch I'm
working on. But you are right, it does make more sense in stderr.

Are you playing with this on Arch? If so, locale-gen may be your
friend. Edit /etc/locale.gen, uncomment the ones you want, and then
run locale-gen to generate them. That should prevent the errors you
are seeing.
