This workflow means that everyone is forced to work on master - 
otherwise it is needed to translate the same strings again and again in 
branches which makes no sense.

And that's why I am confused - because we were assured that it will be 
possible to choose between working on master and working on branches.

Keeping master updated always means more work and it is the reason why I 
think that each team should decide if they want to use master or not.
