Remove empty translation strings at build time
Pull Request Type
Related issue
closes #3359
Description
vue-i18n doesn't fallback to en-US if a translation contains an empty string, it does correctly fallback if the translation doesn't exist at all.
Some language files have a lot of empty strings, unfortunately weblate seems to have added those empty strings, so if we remove them in the files, it's possible that weblate will just add them back. Instead I decided to remove them at build time, that way even if weblate adds more empty strings in the future, we won't be affected by it.
Testing
Set the FreeTube language to español (Argentina)/
es_AR
, instead of loads of things being unlabelled, they should have the en-US strings.Desktop
