I agree this is not clearly explained and it should. Translation of
lilypond PO files is not coordinated by our team here at lilypond, just it
happens a few of PO translators are also documentation translators of the
lilypond team. But most of the (very numerous) PO translators who use the
FTP are not.

An issue open for a documentation editor to write this down would be fine.
I'll forward to devel list.

musician or amateur can help, too.

I don't know exactly what are you talking about (I seem to have missed a
message in between), but anyway feel free to ask for any additional help.
