If you're building outside of the source tree (which is generally
recommended), yes. The .po files are kind of a special case, generated
from the C sources (and so requiring a "make") but edited by the
translators thereafter.
So what's the preferred workflow for marking another string for
translation? I'd say the first-step change in the C source would be
enough, because eventually you (or somebody else) are going to run the
po-update step when a bunch of new translation gaps have accumulated. No
need to do it every time. Right?
