If you happen to keep file at previous location, then you will be able
to download it from any translation in Pootle and simply upload it right
away to its new place. If not, the old file will be deleted from
"templates" but (I did not test), I'd say that Pootle will keep the
translation and not remove when updating from templates, so that you
will have a "translated file without corresponding template file" =>
your translations are not lost.

To be tested though! And if you want to keep backward compatibility, you
should keep a copy at old location for a few versions anyway so that
people sticking to an older version do not lost translation (for sure).
But as said, I expect Pootle to keep the translated file and not delete
it until you do it manually.
