Well, I picked head because it's the only series that exists for your
product, you can create any series you want (like 0.7)

The idea is to choose a release that those translations are targeted to.

Anyway, next week we will change it so the translations are associated
with development branches (series) instead of concrete releases as they
will change over time inside the same branch independently of the number
of releases you do.

That means that, usually, you would have two pots to translate, the one
for the stable branch and the one for the development one.

It is, when you look at the translation summary for a .pot file, you
will have a link to 'Upload a file' inside the 'Actions' menu on the
right.

As soon as you have the release created, I will attach them.

Excuse me  but I was not able to understand what do you mean here, could
you elaborate it a bit more?, thanks.

Why should we store .pot and .po files for every release? as soon as you
do that release, people will have those .po and .pot files from your
released tarball, right?

About asking the files via web UI, yes, it's a good idea, although the
amount of requests we get is low so it takes much more time to implement
it than doing the initial upload by hand as we do it atm (because the
initial upload implies some validations from our side), after the
initial upload, tge updates to .pot and .po files are handled directly
using the web UI.
