Normally, you do not need a new copy of glob2 to test a new translation, 
excepted if you want to translate new keys that are not available in your 
version.

All data that are in /usr/share/glob2 can be overridden by putting files with 
the same names in ~/.glob2 ; this possibility includes translations of 
course. So you can modify a translation or add a new translation without 
touching your glob2 installation.

Good luck, have a nice day,

Steph
