Strings updated in INI file keep validated in pontoon about pontoon HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks for the report!

Please note that Pontoon follows Mozilla's guidelines for making changes to existing strings. To sum up:

• If you are changing a string such that its meaning has changed, you must update the string ID.
• If your changes are relevant only for English — for example, to correct a typographical error or to make capitalization consistent — then there is generally no need to update the string ID.

I notice this issue as well, so for example if I have a source language ini file containing the line:

890_J_Mobi_Title=WIP - 890 Jump in danger

I can add a validate a translation for that line, which works fine.

But, if I later load a newer version of the ini file where the content of that same line got changed to:

890_J_Mobi_Title=danger for 890 Jump

I would expect the translation added to that line to get automatically devalidated, so a translator can pick it up and translate it again. Sadly this is not the case, causing invalid translations to stay without translators being notified about it.
