BTW, I don't know if y'all think this is important enough to worry about
this close to a possible release, but if y'all can't wait for a response
back from the translator, I can say that it's safe to revert to the previous
"ลบทิ้ง". That's an acceptable translation, whereas the current translation
is quite possibly a paste-o (it happens to be the exact same text as the
translation of "Reply").
My credentials: my mom's Thai, and I've been fluent in Thai since I was a
little kid (over 20 years). But on the other hand, I haven't actually been
to Thailand recently, so I'm not up on recent changes in the language. My
computer-related vocabulary is rather lacking too.
