I noticed a lot of translators, back when these strings existed
(but were not utilized) either translated them literally, or put
the string, as-is, in the "msgstr" field of their POs.

I've attempted to remove all of those (replaced with `msgstr ""`).

  https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/tuxpaint/ci/0257d37b2716eb46edf598f584bf03df4a08f33e/

Here's what I see in there now, per this command:

  grep -A 1 "spare-" *.po | grep msgstr | grep -v '""'

ca.po-msgstr "aa"
ca.po-msgstr "aa"
ca.po-msgstr "eèéëcç"
ca.po-msgstr "EÉÈËCÇ"

ca@valencia.po-msgstr "aa"
ca@valencia.po-msgstr "aa"
ca@valencia.po-msgstr "eèéëcÇ"
ca@valencia.po-msgstr "EÉÈËCÇ"

de.po-msgstr "aa"
de.po-msgstr "aa"
de.po-msgstr "äüöß"
de.po-msgstr "ÄÜÖ"

gd.po:msgstr "<1>spare-1a"
gd.po:msgstr "<1>spare-1b"
gd.po:msgstr "<9>spare-9a"
gd.po:msgstr "<9>spare-9b"
  [oops I missed this! hard to edit ~130 files at once at 2am ;-) ]

hu.po-msgstr "áíűőüöúóé"
hu.po-msgstr "ÁÍŰŐÜÖÓÉ"

is.po-msgstr "aa"
is.po-msgstr "AA"
is.po-msgstr "ðéíóúþæö"
is.po-msgstr "ÐÉÍÓÚÞÆÖ"

it.po-msgstr "aa"
it.po-msgstr "aa"
it.po-msgstr "èòàì"
it.po-msgstr "ÈÒÀÌ"

ja.po-msgstr "漢字"
ja.po:msgstr "<1>spare-1b"
ja.po-msgstr "あア"
ja.po:msgstr "<9>spare-9b"


Shin-ichi, I see you had added '1a' and '9a', but leat '1b' and '9b'
with the msgid _as_ the msgstr (something I just removed from most of
the other PO files).

I'd assume it makes more sense to leave them blank / untranslated
(`msgstr ""`), rather than do that.  But I didn't want to stomp on
your work.  Thoughts?  (Albert too, of course!)

Should we drop a note onto the tuxpaint-i18n@ mailing list to ask
translators to look at this again?
