Hi,

We still have three almost identical files. Can we somehow keep just
one and generate the other two? I was actually playing a bit with a
change in the opposite direction - keeping just the EngineMessages
enum with added default english translations and generating all other
files from it.

Do you think it would make sense? It would not require a test then as
the consistency would be checked during compilation phase directly.
