@pervoj could you have a look see if it makes sense to you?

You can also make some simple script (e.g. update-locales.sh) for automatic generation:

#!/bin/bash
xgettext -f po/POTFILES -o po/re.sonny.Commit.pot -cTRANSLATORS --from-code=UTF-8
sed -i "s/Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION/Project-Id-Version: re.sonny.Commit/" po/re.sonny.Commit.pot
msgmerge -U po/*.po po/re.sonny.Commit.pot

You can run this script before each release and then, for example, create an issue and mention the translator. (dialect-app/dialect#157) This is a simple and effective way to keep the translations up to date in each version.

I found that you can also update the POT and PO files using Meson commands:

meson compile projectname-pot # for generating POT file
meson compile projectname-update-po # for updating PO files

Nice catch. I'm always hesitant to rely on meson too much but perhaps it's time I fully embrace it.
On one hand it makes most tasks a breeze and just works, on the other, it hides a lot of what is going on.
