Existing translations should remain (though marked fuzzy). Translators
just need to go through remove redundant parts.
The thing is translations should be updated anyway because of
misalignment (I only checked ja and vi). We could use this opportunity
to avoid potential work for translators later (e.g. a new long option
is added and the whole table needs to be realigned, which currently
changes every help string, or a misalign in original strings
propagated to all translations).
