r40727 and r40728 allow the translation domain to be specified via
GRASS_TRANSLATION_DOMAIN, e.g. (shell):

	GRASS_TRANSLATION_DOMAIN=myscript
	export GRASS_TRANSLATION_DOMAIN

	if [ "$1" != "@ARGS_PARSED@" ] ; then
	    exec g.parser "$0" "$@"
	fi

or (Python):

	if __name__ == "__main__":
	    os.environ['GRASS_TRANSLATION_DOMAIN'] = 'myscript'
	    options, flags = grass.parser()
	    main()
