If they work and are what you were recommended to do then I'd just
commit them.

The use of msgmerge in the first patch looks OK to me.

The use of msgattrib in the second patch looks OK to me also.

What about the comment on Release in the wiki that the update-translations
target does not pull in new partial translations?

Can we get rid of the scripts in 6.4 and 6.12 in the Release instructions?
