Deleted texts

If the developer has removed certain elements such as strings, dialogs or menus from the software, the corresponding strings and resources will also be deleted from the source string list when an update is carried out. The deleted strings remain saved in the respective translation lists of the project file, however. In the resource list, depicted as a tree structure, there is an additional resource called Recycle Bin, which contains all the deleted resources. This ensures that the type of resource, the ID and the strings remain intact, including any advanced properties. All other information, such as the position of strings within the dialogs, is lost.

If the recycle bin is used, previously translated strings are not lost when you update source string lists. They are used in addition to other data sources for an automatic translation or an interactive translation with the fuzzy list.

The translations are contained in the recycle bin can be worked on quite normally. Resources and single string pairs stay stored in the project until they are deleted using the Delete Permanently function in the Home tab.
