Agreed. I get is why you wanted to help out with cleaning up, but any
change needs to always be vetted by an actual translator. There is no
way that you could know what each team's style guide or actual current
state of the translations is. Also, things that look like a typo to you
might be actually correct. Just to give an example, in my locale,
changing ’s to ‘s will introduce a serious typography error. Not
speaking my language, there is no way that you could possibly know that.
