[QGIS-Developer] Using (or not) the upload functions in Transifex

Good morning,
I have a question about the use of QGIS translations in Transifex, which I
have already sent to the translators' mailing list and which I would like
to ask here as well, hoping for a reply.

I don't understand what the upload functions in Transifex are for.
I am the coordinator of the Italian translation team and I see that in
Transifex I can upload  a file (see image [1]), but I don't understand how
this upload affects the flow from Transifex to QGIS.
It might be useful to download the .ts files of the translations and
perhaps make more detailed corrections in Qt Linguist, but then there is
the problem of reconciliation.
That is why I am asking you what the Transifex upload is for.

To improve the translation and standardization of the translation in
Desktop and then Documentation and Web, I enlisted the help of AI to create
a script that compares the .ts files downloaded from Transifex and detects
if a string has been translated differently in the various parts.
For example, I did this for the three versions of Desktop
(for_use_QGIS_qgis-application_it.ts,
for_use_QGIS_release-3_40-qgis-application_it.ts,
for_use_QGIS_release-3_44-qgis-application_it.ts).

The result is a CSV file that contains only the strings that differ in
translation and in which file.
For example, see figure. [2]
This is useful because in Tx I only select the original strings with
translations to be standardized.

I can send the script somewhere if you need it.

Thanks for your help with the upload question.
