You need your 'locales' directory to look exactly like Sfive's one 
(locales/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/<domain>.mo).

Run Five/browser/tests/pts_test_languages.py and see whether it passes...

As for debugging, I think testing a problem in the simplest environment 
you can think of is always a good idea. Then complicate the setup until 
you see where the erronous component comes in.

If you want to spend some time on debugging, I suggest you take out PTS 
for a moment and use zopectl debug to test whether translation works at 
all (use the zope.i18n.translate function at the interpreter prompt; see 
the doctests in Five (tests/test_i18n.py) for an example of how it 
works). Now test translation with a *simple* ZPT (no macros, no other 
stuff, just one line with an i18n:translate="" in it; see 
Five/browser/tests/pts_test_languages.pt for example). If all that works 
and it doesn't when you add PTS back in, I'd like to know where the 
problem is.

That isn't the full traceback. The actual error is missing. That makes 
it hard for us to actually see at what it fails.
