You are right, so this cannot be the approach to follow.
We could use replacements in the rst_epilog section of conf.py.

For example we could do something like this using a language variable
in conf.py (but needs to be tested):

rst_epilog = """
.. |nix| image:: /img/en/nix.png
   :width: 1em
.. |win| image:: /img/en/win.png
   :width: 1em
   ...
.. |image_path| replace:: /img/%s
""" % language

and then use this in the rst files:

.. figure:: |image_path|/shortcuts.png

and compile like this:

$(SPHINXBUILD) -b html -D language=$$lang $(ALLSPHINXOPTS)
$(BUILDDIR)/$(DESTINATION)/html/$$lang;\
