Ok – hours later I found a solution to this issue – maybe I can help someone else who runs into this problem.

As neither editing the translation files directly nor via loco translate was able to update the translated strings I figured that they are maybe written to the db during installation. So after some time I found out that this process does actually updated the translated strings for the newsletter plugin:

1.) deinstall the plugin
2.) make sure that there are no left over files in wp-content/language directory
3.) in the db delete all newsletter tables
4.) THE IMPORTANT PART: delete the newsletter_profile rows in the your-prefix option table
5.) change the wordpress default language to whatever language you need (in my case it was the formal German Sie)
6. reinstall the newsletter plugin

I’m especially failing to get this string:

“Indem Du fortfährst, akzeptierst Du unsere Datenschutzerklärung.”

to display as:

“Indem Sie fortfahren, akzeptieren Sie unsere Datenschutzerklärung.”

The string has been successfully changed in the wp-content/languages/plugins/newsletter-de_DE.po – then compiled to newsletter-de_DE.mo, uploaded to the directory wp-content/languages/plugins – still the string is not being translated correctly. What am I missing?????
