This has always been a clear as mud to me as to what the *current*
translation workflow is and how as a developer I can fix a translation.

e.g. in the past changing the "Letter" size translation in Spanish to
"Oficio" instead of the literal translation was a pain. And right now I
want to fix a gadzillion Indic translations short-cuts to ascii chars
and not characters that only available via IM. What I want to do is to
commit to the translations git repo and forget about it. Does that
work ?
