I may have forgotten to upload existing translations when adding
tails-greeter to Transifex, sorry. Transifex does not import existing
translations from Git automatically, this is a manual step.

Correct. Transifex will only import updates from the source file (the
.pot file) that you commit in Git, other translations (new and
existing ones) will have to be uploaded manually. You need to choose
between using either Transifex or Git, using both can be tricky.
