It's not a question of fetch. It's a question of push. You cannot upload to Transifex your up-to-date translation until someone push the up-to-date template.

It does not support colorful diffs for fuzzies as Zanata, so it is not very useful. I always use offline tools with meaningful diffing (Lokalize of Virtaal) as Tx suggestions are sometimes misleading. It is also better to switch off Google or any other computer autotranslation for the known reasons of licensing and quality. > but I'm not sure how this works with older, already translated strings.
