There will be no manual step to copy the translations from version 6.1 to trunk 
because the translations are automatically synchronized between series, in 
real-time. So I'm not sure what you mean by "are mainly 2010".

If you translate term "foo" in 6.1 and "foo" exists in 7.0, it will receive the 
translation as well, no need to duplicate the work, and that should be visible 
immediately in the web translation interface.

There is still need to translate the new 7.0 terms of course.

Watch out: Launchpad may not automatically export the PO files for other series 
affected by the new translations. So if you recently translated missing terms 
in 6.1, LP may not have exported the PO files in the trunk source code yet. It 
should do it as soon as you touch some terms in trunk *in the same module* 
(note: exports are done once per 24h).
This may look annoying but should not be an issue, since it will be necessary 
to translate the new 7.0 terms anyway, so you will touch the new translations.

You can see this in the translation overview screen, for example right now:
 - for 6.1, Swedish translation of addons is complete at 78% (3.4k missing)
   https://translations.launchpad.net/openobject-addons/6.1
 - for trunk, Swedish translation of addons is complete at 54% (6.7k missing)
   https://translations.launchpad.net/openobject-addons/trunk
(PO files may not reflect this exactly, due to the delayed export issue 
explained above)

Moreover, when we create the new branches for OpenERP 7.0 today, there will be 
yet another series that will share the translations with the others.
At that point it will be better to complete the translations in the 7.0 series 
rather than trunk, to make sure LP will export the terms in the 7.0 branch 
immediately.
