The po file inside git master is only updated right in front of an
upcoming release aka "string freeze" or if there is an update done.
Everything else would cause a to high noise as changing only few lines
inside code will cause an patchset of maybe 500 lines per translation. A
solution like transiflex is not yet in place.

The po file which can be downloaded from i18n.geany.org is generated on
daily basis based on github's master branch and therefore is up to date.
But: As you need to compile latest version of po file together with
corresponding sources of Geany to test your translations I recommend to
clone the master tree of Geany and build it from sources. Running ./waf
updatepo or make update-po (inside po folder) will update the
translations catalogue as well as all po files.

If you have updated the po-file please send either a PR via github or
the complete po-file to either me directly or the i18n mailing list.

Also: There have been updates on pt translation. Maybe you can use it
for updating pt_BR translation.

Cheers,
Frank
