Is it possible to make an update in Wheezy?

hasn't been updated since 2013-05

In theory yes, however the ftpmasters decided (somewhere) that stable releases shouldn't get translation updates. I'm not sure I agree with the reasoning, but there it is. As a practical issue fixing that would be changing one line in dak, and telling ddtp.d.n to generate the necessary files. But it's more of a policy thing really.

Or at least, that's my recollection of it. Trying to find evidence in git repos drew a blank though; references to stable are carefully commented out everywhere right from the start. Evidently the choice was made prior to the first commit of the automatic update code (ddtp-dinstall).

I would argue that when Debian does a point release with stable-updates, that translations should be considered part of that.

Have a nice day,
