Source string comment
The word here should be short and succinct, like not more than 9 characters ideally. It is not directly "software updates" but more generic. It is something like "todos" and "messages" or even "inbox". It is a single place to view messages about things that F-Droid thinks need the user to know about.

Please pay particular attention to the source / english / original wording in this context. 'Message' or 'To do' or 'Inbox' or 'Udpates' or 'Notification' or 'Activity' or 'New' or 'Unread' or 'Recent' or ... are words with different meanings and should be chosen carefully because translators can introduce variations and finally user relying on labels to perform correct actions in the app.

The updates tab isn't only about software updates. It is also about queued offline installs, in progress installs, known vulnerabilities, and in the future, also donation reminders and other things. In English, you can also say "do you have an update on your progress?" or "Keep me updated on how things are going". That combined with "software updates" is why the tab is called "Updates". Ideally, the Updates Tab would actually be a different word than the word used for "software update" to highlight that the Updates Tab is more than just software updates.

This string is the button label in the Bottom Navigation Bar, here are some guidelines: https://material.io/design/components/bottom-navigation.html#

@critdroid asked to have a separate string for the Updates title in Settings. I made it, but now after thinking about that for a bit, I think that in most cases, the title in Settings should match the title on the Bottom Bar Nav menu. The Updates settings like "Over Wi-Fi" and "Over Data" also control things like new installs, screenshots, icons, etc. Or maybe it should be different than the Updates menu, but not just only "software updates" but something like "Downloads and Updates"

@Hans-Christoph Steiner How about renaming 'Updates' tab to 'Pending' then? It's short and quite broad yet reflects meaning pretty well. Also it is being used by other packet managing software for a while.

"Pending" is in interesting idea, the "Updates" tab definitely has that idea in it. I'm not sure how widely understood or used the word "Pending" is though. It feels like jargon to me.

This is the headline for update settings as shown in https://s.weblate.org/hosted/media/screenshots/settings.png

We need a detailed context for this. The screenshots are somewhat useful, but not enough, as there are no pointers to where in the screenshot this string appears. Is it only used for the button in the toolbar, and thus needs to be at most 5-7 characters to actually fit (which in most languages would mean shortening the word or words quite heavily), or is it also used in other places and thus shouldn't be shortened, as that would make the meaning less clear and look odd? This should be stated thoroughly and in detail in the official comment to the source string.
