I am aware of that and directly responded to it, there is no need to re-iterate the same statement over and over again ... > I propose to use smart-change in the steps 1) and 3), so that the > translators are not disturbed. If a translation is outdated already, it will disturb translators, and one bump only instead of two is far more convenient in that respect. > It is true that in 1) and 3) there is a risk of side effects.

I never stated that it would be doable without translation-check bumps, I have no clue where you picked that one up. All I was saying that it would be possible to do it with a single bump, and that when sitting together at debcamp more people can watch and think along and check things so that the risk of overlooking stuff is reduced to a minimum, without IMHO totally unnecessary commits for converting to entities and back that leave the gut feeling of overengineering and overcomplicating things.
