You need not check out the whole source.

I dont have 2.10/2.12 , but here is output from FC4.

[root arch4 ~]# ls /usr/share/locale/hi/LC_MESSAGES/g*
gail.mo                  gnome-mag.mo             gnome-utils-2.0.mo
gaim.mo                  gnome-media-2.0.mo       gnome-vfs-2.0.mo
gal-2.4.mo               gnomemeeting.mo          gnopernicus.mo
gcalctool.mo             gnome-menus.mo           gok.mo
gconf-editor.mo          gnome-mime-data.mo       gthumb.mo
gdm.mo                   gnome-netstatus.mo       gtk20.mo
gedit.mo                 gnome-panel-2.0.mo       gtk20-properties.mo
glib20.mo                gnome-session-2.0.mo     gtkhtml-3.6.mo
gnome-applets-2.0.mo     gnome-system-monitor.mo  gtksourceview-1.0.mo
gnome-desktop-2.0.mo     gnome-terminal.mo        gucharmap.mo
gnome-games.mo           gnome-themes.mo

my gnome is 2.8.x , compared with it the naming is not much different.

as said by Christian, this version no in mo filename was needed
earlier, when gnome 2.0 just came since gnome 1.x used to be present
then, it seems to have carried on, in some cases it is becoz multiple
versions of a library are bein used.

so by default keep the naming as  PACKAGE.mo  , else check the
configure.in for the package.
