This is normal.

What I do, as a translator(*), is to grab the merged files from babel,
which contain no difference in translations from the source files in
master (only merges to latest source code), and commit that.  This is a
mechanical but very bulky change with no interest.  Then translate that
file and commit separately.  This makes it easy for other people to
review the diffs, since human involvement only occurs in the second
commit.

We want to avoid spurious commits to the master branch, which is why
we don't do the first kind of commit separately.  At least, that's how I
see it.
