Deleating my own translation

Hi,
Is it possible to deleate one's own translation? I was wrong about one expression I've translated and I don't know how to translate it correctly, but I couldn't find a way to deleate my translation. Is there any?

Nope, no way to delete it. You can overwrite it though with something like "translation was wrong, please re-translate"

But yeah, i think it would be good to be able to delete one's own translations (maybe only if less than x minutes old or something). Because now one can't be certain that somebody else even sees that a translation is missing there - especially in games with thousands of translations like injarawa, or the main page

You can also just copy the english text/line and paste it in the box of your language, so the english text stays there. Then at least its more clear what is meant (instead of getting a sudden lline: I did a mistake in this translation please translate it correctly; Wait, so its my turn or not? :P ) and it's also clear it's not yet translated.

Cheers,
Sawyer

That's indeed the right way to go about it. If the sentence has not been translated yet, the English text appears; so if you want to remove your translation, copy/pasting the English original goes back to how it was before for non translators. For translators, you can also leave a translation comment when reverting to English to explain the reason why you had to do this.

Cheers,
