No not at all - you can still push your hand updated po files - just
click on any v1.8 resource and choose 'upload file' from the box that
appears.

If you change the source texts, you (as in specifically Otto as at the
moment only you and I have admin rights) should run

scripts/pre_translate.sh
scripts/create-transifex-resources.sh

No we can push all the 1.8 po translation files to the transifex 2.0
version and it should pick up all the matching strings. Probably we
can make a script to automate forwarding translations from one release
to the next.

Just bear in mind that I am learning this stuff as we go so I
apologise for any wrong steps we may have along the way.

Tim
