Here my steps (job for the release manager or a dev):

a) updated .po files from source code:
 cd locale/
 make pot
 make update-po

b) next merged in transifex translations with
grass-addons/tools/transifex_merge.sh
  --> .po files got updated, several new languages added from Transifex

c) make verify
  --> with subsequent manual cleanup

Submitted as r71345.

@Translators: please continue to translate at

For now I have done it...
