Right. The reason for not installing in a standard location was that
this only works on Unix. Moreover, with different locations for
different platforms, the game data would need to know where to install
the translations based on the platform its on.

I see. It's complicated indeed, as the path above is not only in the
Makefile, but also hard coded in the engine.
The true problem here is that normally you have a package and it's
translation. When you build the package you know where the translation
needs to go. With adonthell, you have the engine that uses the
translation from a different package.
So it's not a simple fix and I'd rather not spend time on stuff that's
not really broken.

The best solution would probably be to apply a patch before building the RPMs.
The change would have to be made to adonthell/src/nls.cc line 43. Instead of
std::string location = myconfig.gamedir + "/locale";
it would be
std::string location = "/usr/share/locale";
in your case.
Then, in wastesedge/po/Makefile.in.in, replace line 25
datadir = @gamedatadir@
with
datadir = ${prefix}/share
That's simple and works for your special case, whereas a general fix
would be complicated and would require testing across multiple
platforms.
