If I guess correctly, translations are currently moved from weblate to 
Guix by overwriting the local .po with a copy from weblate and likewise 
in the other direction.

However, a 'msgmerge' program exists: 
‘https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/msgmerge-Invocation.html’. 
Maybe that could be used?

Also, on pushing new .po to weblate, 'git push' has a '--with-lease' 
option, which IIUC is a kind of 'atomic compare-and-swap' operation, 
which could help with avoiding race conditions.

Greetings,
Maxime.
