Replace the term "to reinitialize"

[Christian Stimming]

The term "to reinitialize a transaction" is used as a menu item in the register. The action that this menu item should perform is: Remove all splits in the selected transaction except the one that is attached to the currently opened register.

I think the term "reinitialize" is seriously misleading here. To me, "reinitialize" sounds similar to "set to default", but the meaning of both in the context of a selected transaction is totally unclear. For example, the "default" for a newly entered transaction can be seen as those values that are filled in through the auto-completion features. On the other hand, the "default" of a transaction could also be seen to be a totally empty transaction, but then the mentioned action would just mean "to delete the transaction".

If we want to have such an action available that deletes the other splits in a transaction, I would suggest a wording like
"Delete other splits",
or "Almost delete transaction",
or "Delete rest of transaction",
or "Partly delete transaction"
-- anyhow, as you can see I would like to have the word "delete" in it since that is what this action is supposed to do. What do people think?
