 Some languages work by github PRs. Some languages post full updated
.po files to this mailing list. Some languages even keep their updated
.po files on their own site, where developers regularly check for
updates. Redmine tickets are not needed for translation updates. It's
mostly up to what you yourself want.

 That being said, and you being the only Swedish translator (no risk
of overwriting each other's work), I have to give a warning against
using github PRs. Msgmerges to .po files usually change almost every
line of the file, and that can easily lead to unresolvable merge
conflicts when trying to merge patches. So maybe sending complete .po
files to this mailing list is the safest choice.
