I think this should be okay now. Policy uses the normal translation framework, so if a part of it has been updated and the translation is out of date, I believe that section will revert to English (if I understand how the translation machinery works). That said, we haven't tried to incorporate translation work in a while, so some of the machinery has probably rusted and will need repairs. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
