Correct. After GUADEC I'll make some time to write a Makefile and then

indeed the translated SRT files should not be distributed in Git, the
ones already there still have to be removed. Since they are generated

Also: I think it should be possible to use the POT file as the
original template instead of the SRT, but I'm not sure about that.
