Comment (by humdinger):

 I've never actually used separate catalog files for localization. They may
 come in useful when you'd otherwise would have to update a huge package,
 just for an additional language. Then you could rather offer a small
 language pack that installs the catalog to
 /boot/system/data/locale/catalogs/yourappname\\
 Theoretically... as I said, I never tried that...

Also, now that you pointed out that make bindcatalogs does not need
 catalog files anyway, maybe it should be renamed to make bindcatkeys :)?
 Or something less specific, like make bindlocales for example?

 Sensible suggestion. I think the name comes from the process of converting
 catkeys to catalogs which then are added to the binary's resources.\\
 However, keep in mind how many recipes and people's build scripts etc.
 would have to be changed.
