buildings have lower contrast compared to the original version. It seems to me the did a better job with units.

I forgot that one. And I am almost certain there is a technical term for what I'm trying to describe, but I don't know it: very frustrating. What I mean is that translation commits are not a single unit of work. When we commit graphical assets, we don't commit a bunch of new graphics, work-in-progress models, and a few shader patches all together. We try to keep commits atomic, a single commit is the work of one artist, or a small group of artists, working on a specific asset or collection of assets. Whereas a translation update is just a large dump of the current state of our translators work across the entire project. It's not like translators coordinated themselves to publish a consistent update for French, or a multilingual update specifically covering the tutorial. If it was like this, then those commits would be crafted by humans, and I'd keep them in the history; on the contrary, I generally oppose generated commits (even if the generation is based on human work). A rule of thumb could be: can one write a meaningful commit message? If you can't be more specific than "Updated PO and POT files", the commit is not very meaningful. You wouldn't imagine pushing a "Updated PNG files" commit. I'd like to explain myself further about the date-triggered commits. What makes the translation commits especially meaningless is that they would be different if the Jenkins job ran ten minutes later. They depend on the state of Transifex at the moment the script is run. I believe there is a technical term for that but I don't know it either, and I think it's a bad practice to have such contingent commits in large quantity in the history (as I said, those translation commits would take 80% of the size of the git repo if I let them in!). Obviously I'm proposing such a date-dependent system when I propose nightly builds, but that's a typical Continuous Delivery process where users receive a new version of the game for testing. Since we don't have a choice but to pull Transifex updates regularly, it makes sense to me to include them in that regular delivery. But I don't think automatic continuous delivery is supposed to happen the other way around into the source repository.
