The downside of such manual operation is, of course, the missing 
automation part. My intention at the beginning was to automate as much 
as possible of the translation part so the devs can concentrate on 
coding, translators on translating, and everything else happens by magic.

I guess, for the beginning, I'll generate the templates on my jenkins 
instance, but push them manually to transifex if and when appropiate. 
Better to write a script and watch how it behaves for some time :-)
