 From the Publican end, this could be even simpler:

Non-English XML
           |
Non-English POT
           |
Translated POs (including English)
           |
Publish Original version of guide plus other translations including English

I'm pretty sure Transifex also doesn't care what language is used in the 
msgid strings in the POT file either.
