Hi all,

I've been playing around with Zanata and I really like it! I've got the hang of
most of the basics but one thing eludes me:

Let say I have a "MessageResources.properties" file which I consider the
translation source. The base language of this file is Dutch (nl-NL). 

So my layout is like this:

Source translation file: src/main/string/MessageResources.properties
Sample target translation file:
src/main/resources/MessageResources_nl_NL.properties

My zanata.xml is configured as follows:

----8<-------------------------------
  <url>https://internal.foo.bar/</url>
  <project>foo-project</project>
  <project-version>master</project-version>
  <project-type>utf8properties</project-type>

  <src-dir>src/main/strings/</src-dir>
  <trans-dir>src/main/resources/</trans-dir>

  <locales>
    <locale>nl-NL</locale>
  </locales>
----8<-------------------------------

Now when I run:
$ zanata-cli push --src-lang nl-NL
$ zanata-cli push --push-type trans --src-lang nl-NL

I would expect that the keys and translations get added to zanata. However all
the keys (and document) get added to Zanata but none of the translations are
there. Am I making some kind of error in my thinking in the way I should work
with Zanata or is this a bug?

Kind regards,

Jasper
