I just realize we do not support updating translation files *.po yet. There is only the manual.pot file generated from the current manual.docbook and the README.md states this should be copied to a manual_*.po and translated afterwards. But there is no way to update the latter.

The xml2pot package provides a program called split2po with which one could write a custom script. But the gettext system is so old there are full fledged solution in the official repos for sure. I'll have a look.

Relatedly, can text objects in SVG files be considered for translation as well?
