OK, cool. Since the automated transfer is working from Transifex, and
since it's easier to go from T-x to git than from git to T-x, I'll carry
on there for the time being, unless you advise otherwise.
I looked through the archives of this list for the Persian translations
by Eric Smallberg et al. but I could only find some unreadable patch
files. If .po files ever surfaced for those, someone could forward them
to me and I'll manually copy them into Transifex, as there seems to be
no upload function. The two others working on Persian translations of
the tails applications on Transifex, ardeshir and joe.ironsmith, seem
not to be so active.
The upshot in the case of tails-greeter_fa is that I've finished what
I'm doing with that and have merged some of ES&co.'s translations into
the Transifex project, but revisions from them or from others are
desired.
Thanks for your help.
