Maybe I found the reason but to be sure the files must be "packed and 
uploaded to TER at midnight". So tomorrow I will be sure.

It seems like if there is RED statement:
--------
Translations will be local in main file (3 already)! [No thanks, move to 
external file!]
--------
then this file will not be packed and fetched.

To make it move to external file:
1. make ON checkbox: "Update all values (even if not changed):"
2. make ON checkbox: "[No thanks, move to external file!]"
3. SAVE

Translation will go to external file and should be fetched after 
midnight packing.

Now it's maybe obvious but there was no information that it is needed :)
