Breaking others work like builds and translation workflow is not what

Patches adding spaces in a string for an index? Again I don't see how
adding a lot of work for contributors will help them to contribute. 
There
are a lot of typo in the new help content that should be corrected 
before
and not just pushed as is, expecting to be corrected by translators. 
Asking
more and more to them will just push them away as it's already the case 
for
several languages. Sorry but I'm really not happy by this dangerous 
move,
consequences are too high for the moment.
Cheers
Sophie
