But what then when you fix a typo in your English text? Or slightly rephrase it without altering the meaning? This means the translation files have to be updated as well.

OTOH, systems where it is very easy to change only the English text without even thinking about the translations have their own pitfalls. Namely that people make "tweaks" and the translations go out of sync.

Or you have an en → en translation file. For some things this is necessary anyway (e.g. QTranslator's handling of plural forms).

+1. en → en translation file is common practice.
