Didn't see that because I just used the tools/docs/checktransupdate.py script, 
which cannot see the commits before ed843ae947f8 ("docs: move riscv under

update by the script. And I only looked at the commits reported by the script.

Allowing partial updates to the translation?

CC the authors of the checktransupdate.py script?
