Ah, yeah, I remember you mentioning it a while ago now. Perhaps the
translations team could give a hand here. When you do content merges
from GNOME, what's the actual procedure that you guys follow?

I'm thinking of writing a simple script that integrates in your workflow
and simply pulls the po files from git and msgmerges them with what's on
the ubuntu-doc branch.

Would something along these lines be useful?

Cheers,
David.
