I think the .po files only get updated when you do a 'make dist'.
(This actually helps to avoid a lot of CVS conflicts.)

Translators usually run msgmerge themselves to update the .po file
that they are working on. (There are a couple of scripts to help out
with this around somewhere. Try the Translators page on www.gnome.org)
