Oh, I tried that last year. Of the 113 bugs I reported, 41 are still open.
Therefore I thought I'd try a different approach this time.

Since it's only about the wording of the diagnostics, it should be possible to
handle them all in a few commits, rather than splitting the work onto 12
people.

Does this mean you already have diagnostics maintainers? That would be bad
because then they should have caught many of these typos already. There were
only 53 new strings to translate, and 12 of them contain mistakes.

Instead of pushing this task to humans, I still think an automatic process is
much more efficient since it doesn't overlook the most commonly occurring
patterns. Having human proof readers in addition is nice, too. But having the
existing rules codified in a linter program is more important.
