"en" (or "en_US") language is a source language for all translations,
so it should not be imported into our git repositories.
It is the source languages, but if translations exist for these language
gettext use it.

The thing in nova previously occurred in Horizon one or two years ago.
It was due to our misconfiguraitons in Transifex and after that en and en_US
in Transifex were removed.

If en and en_US locales exist in our git repositories, we can safely delete them
and the infra translation script can ignore them.
