I suggested that also in my bug report. After all it just confused me, but is
not a bug.

I inspected that location and found a remark that the project was moved to
https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/base/plasma-pk-updates
The maintainer is still Luk���� Tinkl. The last change is from 3 days ago.

In the projects.kde.org for this project I don't see anything about how
translations are handled. I only see Messages.sh scripts that provide the .pot
files. So there must be a separate system to handle the .po files.

Anyway I have the feeling that the source of the translations should come from
another location.
