It's a bit of a mixed answer. The standard build process will update
the translation if it's found in the .po file. However, we don't look
up *new* strings to add to the translations* except on 'make
update-po', which is generally done at string freeze (usually a week
before a new release, if the strings have changed).

We have to keep these .po files in source control because there are
platforms out there that build SSSD that do not have the po4a package
we use to generate the manpage translations. So we need to ensure that
the .po files are up-to-date and released in the tarball.

*: Or strings that have been removed, but those are less interesting.
