Because weblate has a database, and once you have translated the strong
it goes there. If another .po file also has that string, it will appear
as a suggestion. And if the same string has different translations
(including no translation at all) it will appear on the 'inconsistent
translations' section.

You can also lock a file when you are translating it.

Also I have noticed it is hard to get the first batch of core pages
translated to have the language on the website, giving momentum to the
translation and making become a lighter work. This process will be
centralised on the weblate server and there will not be lots of
different repos with just some strings translated.
