I agree that it should go through TP[1], nonetheless there is a way to
generate the pot file to merge it and get an updated po file.  From a
fresh checkout of the git tree you only have to follow these steps:

$ guix environment guix
[env]$ ./bootstrap
[env]$ ./configure
[env]$ make doc-pot-update
[env]$ msgmerge /path/to/old/de.po po/doc/guix-manual.pot > /new/de.po

And that /new/de.po file will contain the updated messages for the last
version of the manual.

This link, the official one I guess,
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html#Binary-Installation
contains the correct version.  Is the manual published in guix.info
generated automatically?  Maybe it is something related with the build
process...

Happy hacking!

[1] Probably GNU's ftp could be used for that too, as a -pre release.
AFAIK, older pre-releases can be removed if the folder grows up too
quickly:
