Did you try (Ubuntu/Debian/...):

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 1
?

Confirmed, I had the same issue here.

It is needed for gettext extraction.

Yes, I had to create it, so it would be

mkdir -p /home/lucadelu/installati/grass78/locale/scriptstrings/

Not sure why this happens occasionally. Perhaps you have configured
the source code --without-nls? Maybe then the subdir is not generated
but better to always have it present?
