Comment(by cjl):

 Please note that the structure of the git repo for GoGo is causing
 problems, particularly with localization.

 http://git.sugarlabs.org/gogo/gogo/trees/master

 You have the POT in a /po directory down inside the GoGo.activity
 directory and Pootle is not finding it to allow updating of the
 template.

 Just having a second /po file at the root level is not sufficient,
 That is where the PO files are committed when translated, so do not
 delete it, but it also needs to contain the POT file.

 See:

 http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Translation_Team/i18n_Best_Practices#Try_to_keep_the_po_directory_in_the_top_level_directory_of_your_repository

 You need to have all of the files buried in GoGo.activity moved to the
 top level so it looks more like Abacus (as one example) .

 http://git.sugarlabs.org/abacus/mainline/trees/master

 This way the /po is at the top level and Pootle will be able to find it.

 Thank you for your cooperation.  Fixing this will allow closing of
 this bug in Trac:

 It will also allow L10n to proceed with it's normal workflow, which at
 present is not functioning properly for GoGo.
