How to add translations

Do something like this (server side):

var translations = [
  {lang: 'pt-br', base_str: 'Hello', new_str: 'Olá'},
  {lang: 'de', base_str: 'Hello', new_str: 'Hallo'},
  {lang: 'es', base_str: 'Hello', new_str: 'Hola'},
  {lang: 'it', base_str: 'Hello', new_str: 'Ciao'}
];
var i18n = Meteor.I18n();

for (var i in translations) {
  if (!i18n.collection.findOne({lang: translations[i].lang, base_str: translations[i].base_str})) {
    i18n.insert(translations[i].lang, translations[i].base_str, translations[i].new_str);
  }
}
