po-files in SVN need updating

I am currently learning esperanto, and I set GIMP language to esperanto. Then, I noticed that there were several things untranslated, which the po file did not even record the original string for! (ie there is not even a 'msgid' showing the untranslated message!)
For example
* File->New ( the submenu New, not 'New...' which is correctly translated as 'Nova'), along with some of its items. * Edit->Modules and Edit->Units
* Filters->Decor ('Decor' remains untranslated, though its contents are correctly translated)
* 'Windows' menu and both of its submenus

These elements are untranslated in all languages due to this; none of the po files cover any of the above, according to grep.

It looks to me like nobody remembered to update the .po files after the menu reorganization. (or is the reorganization still ongoing?) Is this an oversight or is it not the right time to do that yet?

It is not our job to update the po files. The translators do that (using intltool) before they start to work on the translations. Or they download uptodate po files from l10n.gnome.org. The files in SVN only change when a translators commits an update.

And what you claim is not true. The German translation at least has the words that you mentioned translated. You probably missed that because you grepped for the words without mnemonics.
