translated .po files do not contain any translation text

[aeva black]

The translation team has been working on several translations of Ironic's error messages. General status can be seen here:
  https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/ironic/
and specific languages translated strings can be seen eg. here:
  https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/ironic/viewstrings/#pt_BR/ironic-translations

Jenkins translation jobs *should* be posting the translated strings to our tree. Ironic has been receiving regular git reviews from the jenkins translation job, eg:
  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/82993/

However they have not actually contained any translated "msgstr" values. The job's logs shows errors uploading to transifex, eg:

    Remove obsolete po entries - they break translation jobs

    The ironic-propose-translation-update job has been failing to update
    from transifex because our .po files contain duplicates of obsolete
    entries which were causing errors.

That fix did not solve the problem after all, but we've looked further into it and it seems to be that "tx pull -a" is skipping .po files whose local file timestamps are newer than the remote timestamps.

Run locally with --debug yields this:

Pulling languages for: set(['pt_BR'])
Pulling translations for resource ironic.ironic-translations (source: ironic/locale/ironic.pot)
Using file ironic/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/ironic.po
Remote time is 1395996600.0 and local 1396317161.0
Local is newer than remote for lang pt_BR
Skipping 'pt_BR' translation (file: ironic/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/ironic.po).

Running "pull --debug --force -a" actually pulls properly, after which, hopefully, the rest of the job will be able to complete.

    Manually update all translated strings

    Git has been updating the localization (.po) files, and as a result, the
    'tx pull -a' command, run by jenkins in the periodic translation jobs,
    has been failing to pull new strings from transifex.

    This patch is a manual pull from transifex to update all the strings
    for inclusion in Icehouse RC1.

    A longer-term fix has been proposed to -infra here:

    Check that all po/pot files are valid

    Perform minimal checks on po and pot files so that no broken files can
    get imported.
