This is indeed good advice.

Doesn't matter if it is there. Only if it is working. The .po file
must be compiled into a .mo file, which is what actually gets used.
So the po file doesn't really matter, except for purposes of generating
the .mo file. .mo files may not be compatible across platforms, so you
may need to regenerate them on your system...
But none of that matters if your system doesn't support locales. Hence
the need to debug things, and hence the reference to po/README.

You need to debug as per po/README.

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
