I conversed with Kate and the problem seems to come from the extraction process. We went through the source files that were sent for translation as a zip, and some changes would be missing. We confirmed that everything in this zip was translated, so the issue was in the extraction to create the source files to send for translation.  

For example, the plugin.properties missing text didn't show in the source.zip but showed on my forked repo used in the extraction. I re-ran the extraction script but still did not see the new text in the generated zip.

Kate thinks a similar issue occurred in the previous drop and this jmod.properties change wasn't captured in the extraction process. So now it is captured in this drop and translated here. It could be syncing or branch issues, but while working with Kate, I learned to better see what files are pulled from the extraction script. So for future drops, I can better check to make sure changes I expect to be translated will appear.
