Thanks Adam.  I just tried that - it seems that my new directory
becomes the only source of all translations for that domain; the stock
translations provided by the original application don't get used at
all.  So I'd have to copy the original .po file and maintain a fork of
it.

I was hoping instead for a way to have one short .po file that
selectively overrides just a few translations, and for all other
message ids, the system would fall back to the stock .po file.  We had
a way to do that with PTS.
