I see, that's good to know. I thought that translators had to select
the translations again as suggestions.

We don't merge the GNOME translations. I believe that would need to be
done manually by merging the two po files and we don't have the
infrastructure for that. So I would encourage translators to upload
GNOME po files so that Launchpad does this for them.
