re: Why can’t i do this with poedit?

Because the translation for the core Connections plugin is managed on Transifex to allow many people to help translate in many languages so they can be easily distributed to everyone. That can not be done with POedit.

re: Now i have to wait for an approval

No, you do not need to wait for approval or an update to Connections to include the new translated strings. See this FAQ.
