It does, but the string in FvwmScript have to be quoted in FvwmScript
quotes:
UseGettext
{$FVWM_USERDIR/locale;fvwm-crystal:$FVWM_SYSTEMDIR/locale;fvwm-crystal:+}
If this doesn't work the problem could be that fvwm-crystal doesn't
export FVWM_USERDIR in the shell, too. It is not enough to set
FVWM_USERDIR in the config. I have had the same problems and fixed it in
the start up script.
For crystal the following should be added in fvwm-crystal startup script:
# Default path
# if a variable 'configfile' is defined in the environment, its value is
# preserved; otherwise, the scripts look for configuration in common places.
configfile="$HOME/fvwm-crystal/$configname"
export FVWM_USERDIR=$HOME/fvwm-crystal
export FNS_SYSTEMDIR=`dirname ${0}`/../share/fvwm-crystal
