So we have to watch the situation while grub-mkrescue is still running.
The following script will serve as xorriso in this run.
I put it into my "$HOME", but any otheri location should be ok.
It shall be used like this
grub-mkrescue -o output.iso --xorriso="$HOME"/xorriso_wrapper_ls_locale
Script text:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# grub-mkrescue inquires features by running these arguments
if test "$*" = "-as mkisofs -help"
then
xorriso "$@"
exit $?
fi
# Look for the name of the /tmp directory with the GRUB2 files.
# It is the next argument after -r. But as default accept any /tmp/grub.*
next_is_dir=0
dir="."
for i in "$@"
do
if test x"$i" = x"-r"
then
next_is_dir=1
elif test $next_is_dir = 1
then
next_is_dir=0
if echo "$i" | grep '^/tmp/grub.' >/dev/null 2>&1
then
test -d "$i" && dir="$i"
fi
elif test "$dir" = "."
then
if echo "$i" | grep '^/tmp/grub.' >/dev/null 2>&1
then
test -d "$i" && dir="$i"
fi
fi
done
if test "$dir" = ""
then
echo "$0 : Cannot determine the path of the GRUB /tmp directory" >&2
else
echo "$0 : ls -l $dir/boot/grub/locale :" >&2
ls -l "$dir"/boot/grub/locale >&2
echo >&2
fi
# Finally do what grub-mkrescue expects
xorriso "$@"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I get as message output on stderr:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
.../xorriso_wrapper_ls_locale : ls -l /tmp/grub.hNYGI4/boot/grub/locale :

If this script does not show .mo~ files but the ISO does, then i am
out of ideas for now. (Crossing fingers ...)
Have a nice day :)
