Not necessarily. I don't have to update po files for languages which are not actively maintaned. > OK, so pootle is the tool used, you don't actually commit the po(t) > files to the repository after each change. If pootle is mediator > anyway, I don't see the reason why the english string should be part > of every po file in the sourcetree. In order to keep history of translations, too. I have seen cases in OOo project where a translator messed up the po files in Pootle and wanted to revert to the last known good file set. >> Let's imagine I change 1 line in all sdf files (~13 MB each), because >> I change Oracle to The Document Foundation or whatever.

See http://progit.org/book/ch1-3.html Besides I saw these large changesets with my own eyes. :) It took several long minutes to push them.
