Subject: [PATCH] fix: Be able to extract translations again.

* The `conf/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES` folder does not get automatically
  created by other tooling so message extraction to that folder fails.

* The `gettext_fallback.js` file should not be getting picked up for
  translation since it's there only to be used when the the language
  gettext catalog is not available
