For languages which have language packs in Ubuntu, those language packs are updated weekly in the development version a few months before each release. So for those, the translators have to wait for the next language pack update to see the result of recently translated strings.

However, language packs are not created for all languages. A threshold is applied so language packs are created only for languages where at least 5% of the strings have been translated. As regards Kurdish (Sorani), and if I do the math correctly, only 0.6% of the strings are translated currently.

Almost 13000 more strings need to be translated into Kurdish (Sorani) to reach 5%.

Until that has happened, and thus until the creation of the ckb language packs has started, I don't really see a practicable way to study the result of the translations.

Now, that 5% threshold is not a natural law. I can think of asking for an exception in order to make it easier to establish Kurdish (Sorani) as one of the supported languages in Ubuntu, i.e. with ckb language packs. But before I try that, I'd like to see a substantial increase of the number of translated strings. Say approximately 4000 more translations to reach ~2%.

It's not doable to explain all aspects of Ubuntu in a reply like this. Please feel welcome to ask for clarifications.
