Description Curtis d'Entremont

I have a feeling that there are many strings in our .properties files 
(especially trace.ui) that are no longer used. Since this creates a burden on 
the translations, we should eventually clean these out.

I don't think it makes sense to do this for both 3.3 and 4.0 because the 
plugin structures have changed in 4.0, and the attached patches are no longer 
useful.. and it then becomes a manual step (a rather long one at that). I will 
run my scripts on the 4.0 stream after the plugin structure is finalized and 
we have a stable i1 driver, and then regen the list of unused strings for 4.0. 

It would probably be easier to write a small script/program to go through all 
the properties file, rather than doing this manually.

Agree
Did you applied this patch on the 3.3 strea ?

not yet.

Please create a script to run against all plugin.properties files and identify 
all strings not used in java or plugin.xml files

This is PII impact, and need to be finalized on the properties file before per
PII drop. 
First drop of PII is April 22.

Does it actually affect translation ? We'll only be removing strings that 
aren't used.. I think it's ok if only the english files have these removed, 
they will get picked up by translation next time around. Unless I'm missing 
something..

I am trying to make sure we drop the actual file, and not burden the TVT cost on
unused string.
