For the time being I just did it for him. No problem if asked here to
update any language string catalog. Asking the tranlator list should be
safe because it avoids conflicts. In case of conflict though it is
reasonable easy to merge two translations: just delete the comments on
one file and use the gettext msgmrg command to merge the two files (old
and new or head and local) together.
