Nope, as on the next export from pootle those changes will be overridden again.

The changes need to be done in pootle. (not necessarily via web-UI,
that would be tedious, but the change needs to be reflected in pootle
to "stick").

But as some languages use offline translation, even doing the change
in pootle might be undone when teams just upload their local copy
again without bothering to check for updates that were done in pootle.
