Sure, please, follow the procedure defined at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RosettaFAQ section "Translation process" point
#2

Not really, those templates are exactly the ones we have in those Ubuntu
releases, we deliver translation updates so we cannot update them as
they should be in sync with the source code.

Please, request an import directly for those as defined in the previous
link I gave you.

They are not lost, we use them with Ubuntu, we ask the translators to
work with upstream so upstream (you) get those updates too but sometimes
it does not happen.

We are not yet integrated with HCT and bazaar but you can read more at
https://wiki.launchpad.canonical.com/RosettaTranslatesBranch the spec is
not finished but you can track the status there.

The idea is that once we have the imports using bazaar, we will create a
new branch with translations where we will commit the updates from
Rosetta so you could get them with a simple branch merge.

Please, feel free to suggest any improvement or new feature to make your
life easier.

Cheers.
