Yes it's a dead translation issue and the answer is something like:
for now the choice has been to safest one (don't automatically delete
anything to not loose history) and no one had time to think a lot more
about how to deal with dead translations.

We should maybe remove the "Number of translations" and "Number of
dead translations" column since it does not bring any value IMO. The
important ones are "Number of Empty/outdated translations".

Note that if you absolutely want to do some cleanup, each translation
value has it's own document so you just need to delete the
corresponding page (click on the link in the "Key" column to do to the
page).
