In this patch I've changed it to just /translations, but I still didn't see it in .guix-profile/share/{de,ro}/LC_MESSAGES/, so I don't really know what to do with it.

I took a look at Nix's qtkeychain package and I saw they put the translations
in /share/qt/translations so I changed the output (again) to there, and when
I installed it, there it was in .guix-profile/share/qt/translations, so I
think we may actually be at the right point with it. I don't know what the
difference is between /share/qt/translations and /share/$lang/LC_MESSAGES. I
installed qt and didn't see any difference. I could change the output so that
it lands in LC_MESSAGES, but that seems even messier than the other options
since it has to be filtered by language.
