Thanks for that! The translations are only updated when a project
maintainer pulls them in (usually before he makes a release) as
described here:

    https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/snippets/9

See e.g.
 
    https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/merge_requests/143
    https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/merge_requests/149     

I've filed

    https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/developer.puri.sm/issues/58
    
since this should be more obvious from the developer documentation.
(I have again cc'ed the mailing list since this information might be of
interest to others working on translations).
Cheers,
