See Free Translation Project (FTP) page on Lily:
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?domain=lilypond

Current PO version in the FTP is 2.11.22.

Don't touch lilypond binary POs: their translation is done entirely
through the FTP. It's my job to update lilypond.pot, send an invoice to
the FTP, and then fetch the POs and commit them to Git when they're
translated.

If you want to participate in translating lilypond binary strings,
please send a message to the German team (see
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?team=index ) with a
CC to current translator Roland Stigge, and read also "Reply to incoming
translators".

Also, please note my new email for lists.
