Hi Hendrik,

Thanks for the detailed explanation. While this and slight variations
(using msgmerge instead of Virtaal) are a valid approaches, a much
simpler workflow is the following:

1. Get the upstream PO file from the upstream project
2. Get the downstream PO file from Launchpad
3. Copy the X-Generator and X-Launchpad-Export-Date fields from the
   downstream PO file to the upstream PO file
4. Upload the resulting file from the previous step to Launchpad

And that's it, Launchpad will take care of all the merging.

Cheers,
David.
