I thought it'd be interesting to allow translators who use Git through

able to push new PO files to the platform as well.
But it might not be necessary - but in that case, we'd all need to use
the webinterface.

I simply thought about the master and testing branches, not individual
branches.

Missing variables, missing punctuation signs, missing line breaks...
