Well, No. The po files are only generated on demand as it will generate a lot of overhead due the changes e.g. on line numbers. Please don't add strings manual to po-files unless you are 110% sure what you are doing.So what should I do ?
- ask a maintainer to run ./waf updatepo on geany-plugins, update my
working copy when it is done and create my patch that will contain only the strings I added 2) run ./waf updatepo myself and send the patch with the lot of updates (even on plugins I don't work on)
Usually we have a language orientated view on translations rather than updating for each plugin as geany-plugins is a combined project. From time to time it makes sense to translate it plugin by plugin, but this is up to the translator. In your cause I'm not sure, whats the bast way. I think just sending an updated po-file for your language
