First, find the right place to report. If there is a YourLanguage.po here, and you can find the bug in it, then here is the right place for you to report. But if not, maybe your Git distribution (such as from Ubuntu) may have its own l10n workflow, and not work well with our git upstream. For this case, you should report bug to them...
