How to think about translation workflows: a refresher

Any translation workflow we adopt must implement the following stages:

extraction of source strings from Python code (securedrop_client/**/*.py) to the catalog template (securedrop/locale/messages.pot);
merging of the source strings from the template into each locale's translation catalog (securedrop/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po); and
compilation of each locale's translation catalog from portable-object format (.po) to the machine-object format (.mo) loaded at runtime.

The following table summarizes the approaches we've considered to date:
