Actually, wanted to see the permissions on /usr/share/mythtv itself, but...

this explains the problem.  Stuart Morgan has volunteered to add a check 
to our code for broken installs, but it seems the packages you're using 
are broken and fail to install the translation files.  So, the proper 
fix is to get them installed.  This may involve either a) informing your 
packager that they're required for both frontend /and/ backend installs 
or b) installing the frontend package.  Remember that MythTV does not 
support "partial" installs with only frontend or backend components, so 
this breakage is at the packaging level.  (Note, also, that the 
difference between installing frontend-only parts of MythTV or frontend 
and backend parts is about 10MB of HDD space or less, so ...)
