Коростіль and Nazariy,

No need to bother GNOME doc team, as Daniel's comment is correct.
"/usr/share/locale/uk/LC_MESSAGES" stores only GUI translations, while
"/usr/share/help/uk/" stores the Help files.

Of course, this pathname may vary according to the distribution. For
example, see Arch Linux gedit's file list:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gedit/files/

Cheers,
