Comment (by siobhan):

 I agree that we should aim for simplicity. Saying it could be this one
 thing or this other thing is confusing.

 Rather than bamboozling the user with information, we should keep in mind
 the action we want them to take - update their translations. "Some of your
 translations are out of date" feels rather negative, however.

 I'd suggest having a "New translations are available" message, with a
 Details link. When the user clicks the details link they could be provided
 with a list of plugins/themes that have a translation available (if that
 is possible).

 This also fits with the upgrade message already in use in WordPress
 ("WordPress 3.9 is available." - or if want to strictly stick to that
 message - "New translations are available. Please update [or install?]
 now.")
