Machine translation is not working on .po files #3

Problem

Machine translation does not work for .po files. Conjecture: The reference language file (pot) has no 'msgstr' messages. I assume that the machine translation function tried to take this as a reference message, but the string is empty/unavailable.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a Project whit a pot file as a reference
  2. delete a translated message. commit this message (only for testing )
  3. try to translate this message via machine translation

The second video supports this thesis
