This is what I could understand:
main/solenv/bin/localize calls the perl script on the solver, for
example:
main/solver/350/unxlngx6/bin/localize.pl
this one is delivered from l10ntools: main/l10ntools/scripts/localize.pl
Then, localize.pl calls localize_sl, located also in the solver bin dir.
Search for "localize_sl" in l10ntools/scripts/localize.pl and you'll see
the command.
localize_sl is built from sources in main/l10ntools/source/ :
localize.cxx
utf8conv.cxx
srciter.cxx
export2.cxx
file.cxx
directory.cxx
treeconfig.cxx
inireader.cxx
You get this information from reading the makefile.mk in that folder,
localize_sl is target APP9TARGET, and the object files are APP9OBJS,
etc.

You can increase the build system verbosity if you configure with
--enable-verbose
If you build with ./build --html you get an html file in trunk/log and
all the output is stored per module in misc/logs , for example:
main/l10ntools/unxlngx6/misc/logs
Sometimes scrips and binaries have verbose options of their own, that is
not triggered anywhere, so you will have to hack the command to get more
output. For example, localize.pl has a $bVerbose variable set when
invoked with -v. In main/l10ntools/source/localize.cxx I couldn't find
a verbose switch.
