This is why I do separate commits with mechanical updates, then further
commits with translation updates. By separating the two, it's actually
very easy to review the new translations.

I have a bunch of scripts with which I've formed what I find is a
practical workflow for people using old-school text editors. (I use
Vim, but I imagine they would apply equally well to Emacs). If anybody
is interested, I can share them.
