There is only a single translatable string, which should never be seen
under normal circumstances (it's an internal error, and the original
string is in "programmer English" rather than user-comprehensible
English), so I don't think this is at all urgent. I'm not entirely
sure why upstream marked that string for translation: translating
the jargon term "stock ID" hides the connection to GTK+ 2 APIs like
GTK_STOCK_FIND_AND_REPLACE and gtk_stock_add(). On the other hand,
upstream does have translations for it into non-German languages
already...

Has this proposed translation gone upstream to
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/clutter-gtk>?

Please could you propose it as a merge request into
<https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/clutter-gtk> and/or upstream?
(Sorry, I don't know what supporting changes in the build system
are needed to go from a bare .po file to a fully-working translation.)

Yes, https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/clutter-gtk has some pending
commits, including the Vcs-Git update. All GNOME team packages have
undergone a similar move.
