Yes. What do you hope you will gain from doing this? The files will
“seem” more up to date but the translation coverage will actually stay
exactly the same. Doing this is pointless and I’m not keen on granting
any exception for it as it’s better to stick as much as possible to
the rule you stated yourself: never touch translations.

I appreciate you asking before making any change.
