By using a specific diff driver, diff of your patch may be reduced from 5k to 1k lines. You can define custom diff driver by adding new git config and setting attributes for ".po" files. See files in:

Some languages have variants, such as "po/zh_CN.po" and "po/zh_TW.po" for Chinese language. I wonder "po/es.po" should be rename as "po/es_ES.po" like "po/pt_PT.po", so that language variants for Latin American can use their own po files.
