Comment (by nacin):

 Replying to [comment:88 Chouby]:
 > When making an update, languages files are *all* automatically updated
 at the latest revision (clearly visible in the picture of @ocean90). Which
 means, for example, that the user might for some reason keep an old theme
 or plugin (let say Twenty Ten 1.5), but Twenty Ten languages files are
 updated to 1.6. If some string has changed or has been removed in the
 latest revision, it won't be translated anymore.

 Thankfully, it's a bit smarter than that. :-) The version of the plugin is
 also considered. If Twenty Ten 1.5 is installed, only a translation
 designed for 1.5 (or earlier) would be installed. Try installing Twenty
 Ten 1.5 — you won't get a language pack installed. But if you update to
 Twenty Ten 1.6, you'll immediately get a pack.
