In my project I have an issue that people keep (presumably accidentally) setting empty translations. This has been happening consistently for different languages. I have a special tool that validates translations and sends me error messages whenever this happens.
My proposal would be to loudly warn and explain to the user that the action they are about to take will show up as an empty string in the UI of the final application. The website makes it very confusing when you want to remove a translation and I can see this happens by accident.
Screenshot of the situation:
Presumably here the translator wanted to indicate that there is no translation for this technical term (it’s a function called in the code that gets show in the UI), but instead they emptied the translation.
