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
