The relevant PO-file is in upstream's git:

http://www.midnight-commander.org/browser/po/de.po

The result would better go here:

So that they can commit this directly in the master tree.

That's true, but the menu has been completely rearranged lately and is

reason why gettext does not want to use old translations or something
like this.
