Are you aware that you should have this structure?

en/name.mo
de/name.mo
sv/name.mo
fi/name.mo 

e.t.c.

I usually put it in yet another subdirectory called 'intl'
You also have to add the path where these directories are located so that they 
might be found.

Hope this have helped you.
I did something similar yesterday, it's really simple programatically only 
three lines,  but the hard task is getting the directories / catalogs work.
