It's actually quite easy to create those $lang.add files without
involving translators because only two strings need to be translated,
with the translation already contained in the related PO file. Let me
try to explain this using the content of the
debian-edu-bullseye-manual.nb.add file as an example:
PO4A-HEADER: mode=after; position=Utgivelsesdato; endboundary=<section>

The two strings in (nb) are translations of 'Publish date' and 'Authors
of the translation' taken from debian-edu-bullseye-manual.nb.po
If wanted, I could provide all needed addendum files.

See above: they don't need to touch an addendum files.
