Hi Sia,

I don't really follow this list but I did come across this email that 
apparently is still waiting for an answer.

Something you can do when you set up a new release series is export the 
translations from your previous series, and upload them to the new one. 
  When you already have translations in both series, export both, use 
msgcat to combine them, then re-upload the result.

You can automate the uploads using lp-translations-tools (a separate 
little project on Launchpad).  The tools let you log in once using one 
script and then do multiple uploads later, from the command line, 
without having to provide a password each time.
