Possibility to Delete Translation Entries #817

Closed ravage84 closed 8 months ago

ravage84 commented 8 months ago

Context: It can happen, for example due to merge conflicts, to have duplicate translation entries in a PO file. Currently, it seems there is no way to correct this invalid PO file state other than manually editing the file as there is no context menu item to delete a translation entry.

grafik

Feature request: Allow to delete translation entries through the context menu. At least, when there is an issue with them.

Rationale: This breaks the process of keep working in Poedit for translation tasks. That should not be necessary.

This is something you should address when merging. Possible file corruptions due to merges are much wider than just duplicated entries, it doesn't make much sense to address just that particular one. And removing entries from generated translation files manually doesn't make sense outside that case either.
