Yes this is correct. You add your new strings only to english, and when
they get pushed to origin/master, transifex automatically copies
placeholder strings in english into all of our other locales, and also
starts giving us translations as they appear. We obtain these
copies/translations via the trans_tools/import_translations.sh script,
which I run periodically and before tagging new releases.

For strings in the browser, we also put them in Torbutton currently and
simply use those entities from Tor Browser, as we have no localization
infrastructure that is capable of splitting strings between ours and
Firefox's.
