Given the above comment, could the en.po file (https://github.com/apjanke/git/blob/english-dummy-translation/po/en.po) be some very very short version with only one 'translated' string? This may be a way-off comment, but if it could be such a simple maintenance free file then that sounds sensible.

also adding in Jiang Xin <worldhello.net@gmail.com>, the coordinator for extra comment.
