Author here, the phrase "generated" was the wrong choice of word here. These translations are manually translated by humans in another systems and consolidated into these .xlf files so they're dependent on what the original strings are in code at a specific commit. They cannot be generated on the fly

Ahh, ok, then indeed bad wording. Fix up the orginal article :)

Im always strict what is going into VCS. Anything that is generated or preprocessed should not belong there.
