Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Deleting old projects in weblate

Hello Annabelle & Christian,

Weblate normally indicates what's changed in strings by highlighting the 
changed characters in green (for additions) and red (for deletions). For 
example: 
https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/weblate/application/fi/?checksum=f846be721a973beb

However, this has never (AFAIK) been the case for LO strings in TDF 
Weblate, where strings just get replaced with no indication of what was 
there before. I've assumed that there's perhaps some technical 
limitation preventing the use of this feature, but perhaps Christian 
could enlighten us?

Best regards,
Tuomas Hietala
