From my limited knowledge, the .po files are generated by a script which 
parses the .desktop files. Another script (or maybe the same) parses 
the committed, desktop.po files in svn and adds the translated strings 
back into the desktop files. In other words, server magic, is how it 
works. Translators should only have to commit to the .po files, and the 
rest is done by little elves.
