.pot and .po are currently a manual upload process based on my personal
Launchpad account.

No, and that is one of our sore points.

Um, sort of.

No. The problem is not so much whole languages (the processing scripts
can easily block those), as the ones we want partial updates for, when
those updates may or may not be async changed locally.
msgcat handles most cases nicely, others not so much (ie two abc.po
files, same date different authors).

Link to a .po file of a name used internally by Rosetta ('_' pot-name
'_' iso-code '.po') , regardless of the local naming schema, which is
another minor issue in itself.
