Then you should probably talk to e.g. the meson developers, because they are "holding it wrong":

https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/blob/master/mesonbuild/scripts/msgfmthelper.py

There are several uses cases, e.g. any build environment which requires usage of msgfmt during the build process, where the "default" lookup rules are not sufficient.

The purpose of these environment variables is to have working tools in the build tree, i.e. before they have been installed in $(prefix).

The user is not meant to use them.

Therefore there is no need to document them.
