Sebastien and I talked about this yesterday, and the fix of snap-store 
translation is still in the works to some extent.

Currently it shows 300+ untranslated strings for several languages, 
while the gnome-software package is fully (more or less) translated. I 
just experimented with the Swedish translations, and merged the 
gnome-software .po file into the snap-store one and uploaded the 
resulting file. That reduced the number of untranslated strings from 337 
to 7.

I'd like to talk with Sebastien again to discuss what to do/recommend 
now. In the meantime I suggest that you don't translate a lot of strings 
manually which are already translated in gnome-software.
