The stats check the number of translated strings in yours files but
don't take account of the strings introduced in the new files version.

Hi Emmanuel,
I looked at the greek issues.po file, it seems up-to-date for bullseye
release, but you have to update it to be sync with the bookworm
release. As noted in the README.tranlsators file lines 66-67
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/-/blob/master/README.translators
"* To update your language files against the English original, use:
$ make updatepo LINGUA=de "
In this way, you will have all greek files synced with the last English
files.
Best regards,
