I want to translate the missing messages.

I can see the updated POT file, but the es.po file is still not updated
with all the strings (msgid) inside the POT file.

As you can see, Poll is fully translated for "es" in translate.sugarlabs.org
but it has missing strings due to staled es.po file. What is the procedure
to update es.po file with latest changes based in POT file into
translate.sugarlabs.org?
