#1348: Plugin Translation Editors and duplicate statuses for the same string
transalation
-------------------+-------------------------------------
Reporter:  netweb  |      Owner:

Priority:  normal  |  Component:  translate.wordpress.org

-------------------+-------------------------------------
 This occurred originally via the steps outlined below and the
 "[https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/en-au/default/wp-plugins/typekit-
 fonts-for-wordpress Typekit Fonts for WordPress]" plugin resulting in ~60
 plugins now having both `approved` and `waiting` statuses for the same
 string in each of the ~60 plugins.

 Repro Steps:

 1. Add a new user as a "Plugin Translation Editor" e.g.
 "[https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/en-au/default/wp-plugins/typekit-
 fonts-for-wordpress Typekit Fonts for WordPress]"

 2. Translates and approve a string, e.g. `Help`

 3. Check the waiting tab the locale the string was translated for e.g
 https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/en-au/default/waiting for strings
 matching `Help` that are now waiting for approval e.g
 [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/restaurant-
 reservations/stable/en-
 au/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=help&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc
 Restaurant Reservations]

 Results:

 The plugin translations for [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-
 plugins/restaurant-reservations/stable/en-
 au/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=help&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc
 Restaurant Reservations] contains both an `approved` and `waiting` string
 status for the same `Help` string

 Expected results:

 A single translation of the string `Help` and not two translations with
 different translation statuses of the same string.

 Based on our recent #polyglots discussions of around glossary of terms I'd
 expect the string to have the `waiting` status as the original translator
 is not an approved validator of strings for other plugins in the same
 locale.
