How long does the forward-merge usually take? It's been a week since my
translation is merged, and version 5.6 is showing up in the site nicely.
I would like to start working on 5.8 now, but the file isn't there yet.

I did some more RTFM and tried running lupdate in all the configurations
that I could possibly think of, but all I it finds is 0 translations, so
I can't do it myself.
