Ah. This is useful. I talked with a few of our developers and an  
automated process to upload tarballs and download translations is  
something we could come up with pretty easily.

I created an account on Launchpad and couldn't figure out how to  
start about getting a project in to test things out. I found the wiki  
page that said to submit things but couldn't figure out who to :) Any  
pointers there?  We'd like to try uploading a tgz and see how it all  
works before automating the process.

Also, we have _lots_ of po files because each module/theme/etc has  
it's own translation files.  Are nested folders with lots of po files  
a problem at all?

Thanks!
