That's mostly right, with just one difference.  A published upload keeps 
working exactly as it does now!  So strings where you currently use the 
published translations will still be updated to their latest published 
translations when the file is imported.

As before, for strings where you use different translations than the 
published ones, uploading the latest upstream file will only give you 
new suggestions.
