No warnings when trying to submit empty translations
I've noticed an increase in the number of empty strings in Firefox, where I have special checks.
Apparently, we don't warn anymore when someone tries to submit an empty translation.
Is that Fluent specific? We should submit { "" } as an empty translation, which was indeed introduced recently.
Is that not the case? What is the expectation?
The expectation is to get a warning, not submit directly. Wasn't that the case before?
I think we prevented submission completely, because the actual empty string was being submitted, which is an error in Fluent.
Note: this is starting to impact other Fluent projects, so it's clear to me that we changed the behavior.
Starting to properly look at this. The proximate cause of this is the way that we no longer construct broken Fluent messages for empty content, so solving the issue will likely require a compare-locales update.
