Hello,
speaking as a translator:

Please be aware that Debconf questions are shown only once. So for
people "living" in Testing (and especially those who use locales
different form English) it it important not to wait for too long once
translations arrive; especially since translation teams make mistakes
as well and those only have a chance of beiing caught if other people
actually see them (i.e. haven't yet gone through the English version).

If you like, you can ask for translations yourself, btw, using
podebconf-report-po(1).

You mean "trigger an upload"? Ideally you consider the age as well. So
if you only got one translation but this is sitting in the BTS for
some time already, you should consider an upload, if, however, every
day a new translation arrives then you might wait maybe a day more.

Greetings
