It is unclear to me how these translation patches were split into three. I am sort-of guessing that 1/3 is only to cover the new entries in .pot that have no corresponding entries in translation, and the rest is to update/fix existing translations, but I do not know how these changes are split between 2/3 and 3/3. In any case, "we must update original translation that does not match accepted computer lingo" you wrote in the cover letter sounds like a very good justification to record in the commit that updates/fixes the existing entries.
