We as the GCC project have procedures to maintain translations, new gcc.pot is not regenerated daily but usually twice before a major release (usually at the start of stage4 development phase and shortly before release) and on major/minor releases, as you can see in https://translationproject.org/domain/gcc.html It isn't worth bothering our translators with new changes every day. The latest gcc.pot regeneration/upload was February 2nd, so there are almost two months of further changes. While I'm not a translation maintainer, I've spent quite a lot of time including this year working with the translators to improve the diagnostics, so that it is better translatable or easier to handle for the translators, see e.g. http://gcc.gnu.org/PR40883 meta-bug and the recent changes. In our project rules the *.po files are maintained by the translationproject.org, we never make changes to those, just regenerate the pot and upload it and when updates are available from translators merge those back. I'm not going to violate this stuff with a GCC downstream Fedora hat.
