Oh yes, that seems to be the best way to do it.
Thanks!

Zanata offers TM merge which can do 100% TM match and re-use on a page by page manner (since it's coming from TM so it's best to double check afterwards. This way you don't need to download and re-upload. The TM merge button is on the TM panel beside the clear button.

That would work but is way to much clicking - I will try merging the
strings from f24-branch into the new master/main..

Again you can use TM merge to do bulk TM reuse. There are also ways to copy/merge translation from another version [1]. If you think the devs/package maintainers are not aware of this feature when creating the new version, please let them know. These functions are only available to Zanata project maintainers as they are potentially quite destructive and should only be used at the version creation time. It will definitely save a lot of translation effort.
