So the gettext version of the function that is passed in the com_err lib
will do something like this:

Function gets the err_string and calls dgettext("et"| num.., err_string)
and returns the result.

But that assumes that .mo files are installed in the libintl's default path
(/usr/{local,}/share/locale). I'm pretty sure there are packages that
doesn't get install there. So how should com_err know here the .mo files
are installed ?
