If you send a patch with the updated translations, that would be welcome, of 
course.
And I think this is a much better procedure, than blindly accepting anonymous 
translation strings through LP. There /should/ be a human at the end of the 
procedure, that will do a quick check on the strings being submitted, and 
perhaps resolve merges of multiple translations (supported by the gettext file 
standard).

Not really. One .po file would be too large, and would also multiply the danger 
of having different context strings merged (example the "State" string that has 
two meanings).
Since many translation editors are familiar with "project structure", I have a 
little bash script that will symbolic link all the translation files into one 
directory like ./de/account.po ./de/crm.po  etc. That directory will be 
recognized by the local editor and help you translate all modules at once.

All of the scripts I'm referring to are at my "openerp" base repo, under the 
mandriva dir:
