To complete the picture, the main repo references a specific commit
of the submodule, so in order to "update" translations such reference
would need to be updated in the main repo.

The the reason above it may be advisible to have transifex pull from
the submodule, or it would see no changes until the submodule reference
is updated (assuming transifex puller would be able to follow submodules).
