Hi, I'm responsible for updating the POT and PO files. We do so periodically, 
and the process is currently manual, and I think it will probably stay that 
way, since I keep up reasonably well with docs development and docs 
contributors chat frequently in the chatroom. We don't want to pass churn in 
the English docs on to translators because that is a waste of your time. We 
usually synchronize when we feel the English docs are in a good enough state 
that translation can start. We welcome feedback about this process, of course.

If you want to proof your translations, I suggest you checkout the commit where 
I last updated the pot and po files. If your language isn't complete in that 
commit, you can download the pot file for your language from weblate and 
replace the pot file locally, then run Hugo. po4a, the tool we use to convert 
po to localized markdown, currently has a threshold of 80% of the file 
translated in order to create a markdown file. You can change that locally as 
well of need be.
