Don't know. But you shouldn't update translations from released
tarballs! Released tarballs are almost always already outdated...

What you should do is update your translations either from the current
development tree in CVS (in case you will need to update those with
intltool-update), or by fetching the fresh pot/po files from the
translation status pages (which are updated many times a day against
CVS). In the latter case, you don't need to run intltool-update yourself
as this has already been done for you by the translation status page
scripts.

I mentioned the use of the translation status pages for this in my
original mail:

Also, the localization guide by the Welsh team also explains in detail
how to translate. You can find it at

Please let us know if you have any questions.
