Deleting Proposals in the Proposal Pool
You may need to delete proposals in the following situations:
-
You want to correct an incorrect translation in the proposal pool.
-
You need to make a terminology change.
-
You want to change the proposal type.
After you have deleted the proposal, the status of translated lines changes to modified if the proposal pool no longer contains a proposal that matches the translation in the translation line. Deletions affect all of the languages that translate from your target language, not just your target language. You can use the usage counters to estimate the effects of your proposal pool changes. For more information on the usage counters, see Usage Counters .

-
