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 ?

1) 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)

What's the issue you did found? There a bunch of ppl having access to
this file and therefor can update it

the issue is that the command to update po files is "./waf updatepo" instead of "./waf --update-po"

Just push it there or send a patch to this list.

Ok, I'll push them on SourceForge.
