This can be used to add extra translations for the Plone domain, which
is needed for example for workflow states and transitions.

There are no warnings or errors when you startup the zope instance?
Anything in the log file perhaps about a conflict error?
I have not tried, but it could be that this is decided based on which
product comes first (or maybe last) in the alphabet. So either a
product AAAExtraTranslations or ZZZExtraTranslations would probably
work.

I think the only good way is to put a .po file in the main i18n
directory of your zope instance. That should take precedence over any
other po files that are found. IIRC at Zest Software we used this
trick for a client to change the default translation of 'Manager'.
