Then you completely misunderstood the point of localisers, and defeated
a strawman.

It's commendable to strive for proper typography in the source etc.

But the translation may have had the proper typography (for its language
context) first time, couldn't it?

However, localisers (why did you quote the term, anyway?) have to redo
the work already (properly) done, repeatedly. Reviewing and approving 1k
of strings isn't peanuts, whatever one may think.

To put it into context assuredly familiar to you - how would you like to
have to redo from scratch one specific curve in the font, verbatim,
several times? Would it strike you as a not quite an optimal way to
spend the time you dedicate to open projects?

And I have yet to see those technical marvels we've been promised will
compensate for this problem (promised with lot of eff-ing at silly
localisers, by the way).

Hey, those scripts are done by people to help us, so don't shout on
them. We will discuss these heavy changes after the code/string freeze
with developers and designers. We have to find a way that allow to
maintain the sources without impacting the targets when it's not needed,
let's try to find a solution and keep working in a good mood.

Cheers
Sophie
