Once you start translating, it's a smart decision to share it to be included into the official code of Dolibarr.
If you keep it for you, others will not be able to improve it when new terms are added or previous terms are modified, and you will still have to manage the translation on your own.
If you translated through the Transifex system, there's nothing to be done. Your translation will be included in the next version of Dolibarr. No additional work! In technical terms, the translation will be exported from Transifex and imported into Dolibarr by our developers, at least once every month.
If, however, you translated directly in Dolibarr files, then you will first have to transfer those translations to Transifex before they can be included. So, really, you should start translating into Transifex.
If you send us your translation through a Pull Request on Github, sadly, it will be overwritten by the next import from Transifex, so it would be very short-lived.
All other language files are likely to be incomplete.
=== Adding new variables ====
The reference language is en_US and is always complete. You can find it in the htdocs/langs/en_US/ folder. All other language files are likely to be slightly or highly incomplete, depending on the language.
If you are developing a new module, you are likely going to need the addition of new language variables. This is done exclusively through the update of the en_US language (htdocs/langs/en_US/ folder). Just modify these files to add the variable you need and send the resulting folder as part of your Pull Request. Refer to the developer documentation to learn how to contribute code (you will need an account on {{TemplateUrlSCM}}.
