I do not understand the purpose of this daily update, does it serves any specific purpose? I do not feel like we require up-to-date translations in trunk.
In theory, it is possible to push l18n updates to live site using Ext:LocalisationUpdate, but I'm not sure if it is practiced these2 days due to huge lag between trunk and WMF cluster.
Yes, it works very well. (Nearly) Every day Siebrand or I export all new translations from Translatewiki to MediaWiki SVN. Extension:LocalisationUpdate is enabled on all WMF wikis and a cron job runs every night to update the message cache.
Since LocalisationUpdate was enabled (a year ago?) it is a huge improvement for the i18n of MediaWiki on WMF projects.
