This is a huge contradiction in itself, isn't it? Having the english
string in each and every file also means that you have to update
*every* file when a string changes, thus your "small changesets" don't
provide any benefit at all. (not to mention how will be responsible
for updating all the files once an English string changes?)

(Besides I doubt there is any benefit wrt changesets when using many
small files compared to one big file)
