Bug Description
When checking on the status of some manual KDE uploads today I noticed that they were not imported because they did not follow the gettext layout (i.e. POT and PO files flat in the same directory, PO files named $LANG.po), and the uploader did not know about the expected format.
Here's the upload form in one of the templates where it happened:

It would be useful to either add an additional paragraph with an explanation, a link to the existing documentation [1] or a popup with this information. This way the uploader would have known the expected layout in the tarball.

TBH, we should probably aim to support layouts like that instead. See bug #444706 for one particular case that is quite common, and this bug seems to describe the other:
.../< lang1>/ template1. po lang1>/ template2. po lang2>/ template1. po
.../<
