hmm, i understand the reasoning, when indeed there is no translation (so
PO will fallback to the original text).
however, i believe there are situations where the translation looks
indeed identically (on the byte level), even though it is a translation.
esp. if you have fancy tools like POedit that will show you which lines
have not been translated yet: if somebody did the work and concluded
that the words are exactly the same in both languages, than the
translation has happened, and any editor marking that as TODO only
yields a false positive.
and of course, if the log menu does not show up because somebody decided
(accidentally or on purpose) that they translate "DSP" with "DSP", then
this is clearly a bug _elsewhere_ that should be fixed.
