Hi,
(Runa: there's one question for you bellow, and I guess reading the
first paragraph of mine should be enough to get the context.)

Yes, we've recently noticed that the Transifex / Git bridge that was
kindly setup by Runa (Cc'd) for us apparently (sometimes?) does not
automatically import existing translations from Git, and that some
work that had already been done in Git had been re-done from scratch
in Transifex. I see that importing existing translations is now
documented [1] as a manual step, that perhaps has not been performed
when initial adding tails-greeter to the Transifex setup. Sorry,
hamahangi, about the extra work on your side.
Runa, does this also mean that Transifex won't import updates from
improved PO files that we commit in Git? In other words, do we have to
choose between using either Transifex or Git, for a given project, as
a source of translation updates?
hamahangi: in the present case, I've already notified Eric Smallberg
that people were working, via Transifex, on the same translations as
his team has already done, so hopefully all you people can merge and
synchronize their work in the future, and come out with totally
awesome translations! :)
