 Hello there @stk_jj !

 Automatic translations updates are in place, if you are facing the
 following scenario:

 1. Plugin/theme update/s is/are available.
 If you click "Update plugins/themes", within the same update routine also
 a check for newly available translation files (for just installed
 plugin/theme versions) is performed and installed automatically onto your
 installtion if available (!) for those currently updated plugins/themes -
 without having to click "update translations" separately.

 2. WP Core update
 Same thing as above

 _____________

 Only if translation updates become available at an asynchronous point of
 time, you will see the "Update translations" button.
 And yes, I agree there should be some improvement here:
 1. At least present the user a list of the exact translation files which
 just became available, with the possibility to NOT install one or all of
 them (just like available plugins/themes update list)
 2. Even though codex says, that WP should not force anything onto your
 installation, without your consent by default ( i.e. "update
 plugins"-button, "update themes"-button), we should take into account that
 newly available translation files already ran through thorough review, and
 you already decided to run the corresponding plugin and/or WP core
 versions in your installation. Thus the admin of the current installation
 already gave their consent to these code versions (plugin, theme, core).
 And since translation files should be considered as "part" of the
 installed plugin/theme/core versions, translation updates should run
 atuomaticall, just like mnro core updates.

 Best regards
 Saskia

 Could you have a look at this?
