Hi Chris, Yes, this is basically the situation. In Java property files, you have a template file, say called i18n_global.properties, and then multiple language files, e.g. i18n_global_fr.properties for French.
For instance in the template file we have .. access_denied_message=You don't have sufficient authority to view this page. In the French file.. access_denied_message=Vous n'etes pas autoris\u00e9 \u00e0 voir cette page. At some point in time, the developers may remove the message "access_denied_message" from all property files, thereby deprecating it as in your example. However, in the Pootle database, the message is persisted and is not deleted with an update_stores command after syncing the source files with the main revision control system. The symptom of this then becomes that the translated string (e.g French) appears in the source language field (which should be English) in the Pootle web interface. Hope this helps to clarify the problem.
