protocol for updating .po gettext files?

protocol for updating .po gettext files?

[Robert P. J. Day]

   i was going to submit a minor patch to fix grammar here:

builtin/init-db.c: warning(_("templates not found %s"), template_dir);

as it should display "templates not found in %s" to be consistent with
other messages, but i know from nothing about .po files, so does one
also have to update those, or how does that work?

You as a developer generally don't.  Instead, you just update the
code i.e.

	-	warning(_("t not found %s"), t);
	+	warning(_("t not found in %s"), t);

and leave it up to the i18n coordinator to update *.pot and *.po so
that localization teams can work on it, which all happens closer to
the next release.

I think po/README has a bit more details describing which part is
handled by whom.
