In general I would say yes: Avoid manipulate po file manually and use 
the Zanata platform in the web browser. On the other hand: it makes 
sometimes sense and I used this in the last 2 weeks in the same way. 
 From my experience: Uploaded po files are NOT covered in Stackalytics as 
translation activities and that's okay, because you could push your 
ranking with download/upload various project files without doing 
anything.
My idea would be to work on po files manually offline, push this 
coordinated by the team online and doing after this a review in Zanata. 
Reviews should be also covered for ATC status, couldn't find this kind 
of stats in Stackalytics.
@Akihiro: we explained the usage of zanata-cli in the I18n guide [1]. 
Maybe we make an extra warning in this chapter and recommend don't to 
use it. What do you think?

kind regards
