Hey,
This is the diagram:

        Local copy                        Template copy
      ┌──────────────────────┐         ┌─────────────────────────────┐
      │  alpaka.po           │         │  alpaka.pot                 │
      │                      │         │                             │
      │  alpaka._desktop_.po │         │  alpaka._desktop_.pot       │
      │                      │         │                             │
      │                      │         │  org.kde.alpaka.metainfo.pot│

      └──────────────────────┘         └─────────────────────────────┘

Let's assume that I translated the part on the left and these files are
100% complete, when I'm updating my local copy against the SVN I'm not
getting any new updates unless scripty merged them with their corresponding
POT files.
For existing files, it works great, but if I have new files (in the
templates) I can't fetch them automatically unless I'm either fetching them
manually from the templates or looking at the UI and finding that there are
missing strings in an app I've already fully translated.

I hope it makes sense.
