One think to notice is that transifex has a very powerful client
command line tool that can be used by developers and people not willing to use
the web interface (maybe when they are off line):
http://help.transifex.com/features/client/index.html#user-client

It can also be used to automate tasks in the build process.
This is the geonode i18n build scripts to have a perfectly working
sample: https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/blob/master/scripts/jenkins/jenkins-geonode-i18n.sh

I am really sorry I cannot help to assemble this, as I am very busy
lately, but this is really a way to go imho ;)
