Weblate: Deleting string in source JSON does not remove it from other language JSONs

[swurzinger]

Describe the issue

When clicking "Tools" -> "Delete String" in a (nested) JSON translation the string gets deleted from weblate, so it is not visible anymore for any language, but in GIT only the source language JSON is modified; the translated strings are not removed from the other-language JSON files. e.g. when removing the entry "TEST" from "en_US.json" it is not deleted from "cs_CZ.json".

I already tried

Did not find a related issue on GitHub.

To Reproduce the issue

Just delete the source string as described above. Weblate only allows to delete string on the source language anyways.

Expected behavior

Expect that when explicitly deleting a source string it is also removed from all the translated files.

Server configuration and status

Weblate installation: openshift
v4.6

This issue looks more like a support question than an issue. We strive to answer these reasonably fast, but purchasing the support subscription is not only more responsible and faster for your business but also makes Weblate stronger. In case your question is already answered, making a donation is the right way to say thank you!

Thanks, the plugin exactly does what I expected to be done by default. Did not see the linked section of the documentation that would have explained that behavior nicely.

I've added it to suggestions in localization guide, that should make it a bit more visible: f986a5da5f3d1c43f7aece4be6bf0485f93570de
