Why are some items not translated in Odoo?

Question

I have a problem with translations in Project module. Some menu items are not translated. What could be the problem?

Here project_view.xml

<!-- Top menu item -->
<menuitem name="Project"
    id="base.menu_main_pm"
    groups="group_project_manager,group_project_user"
    icon="fa-calendar"
    web_icon="project,static/description/icon.png"
    sequence="50"/>

Here ru.po

#. module: project
#: model:ir.model,name:project.model_project_project
#: model:ir.model.fields,field_description:project.field_project_task_history_cumulative_project_id
#: model:ir.model.fields,field_description:project.field_project_task_project_id
#: model:ir.model.fields,field_description:project.field_report_project_task_user_project_id
#: model:ir.ui.view,arch_db:project.edit_project
#: model:ir.ui.view,arch_db:project.view_task_form2
#: model:ir.ui.view,arch_db:project.view_task_history_search
#: model:ir.ui.view,arch_db:project.view_task_project_user_search
#: model:ir.ui.view,arch_db:project.view_task_search_form
#: model:res.request.link,name:project.req_link_project
msgid "Project"
msgstr "Проект"

I've also had this problem with translations. I had updated module base a lot of times too and it worked, but sometimes it wasn't necessary. What I did is the next process:

• Go to Settings > Translations > Load a Translation, select your language and check the box Overwrite Existing Terms, then click on Load button.

• After that, press F5 to refresh the browser, then go to Settings > Translations > Application Terms > Synchronize Terms, select your language and click on Update. Then press again F5 to see if your terms have been updated.

Regards.
