I think this was because the user made a translation in that language that was just still in English. This was reverted, but it seems that this list of authors was still populated.

AFAICS this is an issue specific to translatewiki.net and could happen in other repos too, so I'm going to untag Product Safety and Integrity

Seems harmless. Looks like backport file (given REL1_44) without any backportable translations.
