Clean up many unused strings

Clean up many unused strings

Pull Request Type

• Cleanup

Description

This pull request removes many of the unused strings in FreeTube's locale files, I left in ones that I thought we might use in the future such as app menu translations and Prompt to Skip for Sponsor Block. The removed strings can be divided into two groups, strings that no longer exist in the en-US file but hadn't been removed from other locale files and the second group are strings that did exist in en-US but are no longer used for one reason or another.

The unused strings were found by adding '@intlify/vue-i18n/no-unused-keys': ['error', { src: './src/renderer', }] to the rules object in the YAML section of the ESLint config and then manually checked (many thanks to VS Code's find in files functionality).

LGTM, will approve if/when you give the green light. Two q's:

1. What's the recommended hygiene for this going forward — if you deprecate a label in a PR, remove all instances of it in locale files as well? Fine by me, although it would increase the number of re-approvals needed due to merge conflicts
2. If yes to 1, are we going to be enforcing @intlify/vue-i18n/no-unused-keys to make this easier for authors but with ignores entries for the "useful in future" labels?

1. Ideally if you remove the last usage of a string you would clean it up too, that's what I've tried to do in my pull requests.
2. I'm not sure on the one hand that definitely seems like the right approach but unfortunately due to the way weblate works, when someone creates a new locale, weblate creates a new file with all possible strings and sets them to empty strings (you can see it with Breton which was added in the last 24 hours). So I would be concerned that pull requests would start get flagged because of changes on the development branch, so if we do add it we probably want to set it to a warning, so that it doesn't block unrelated pull requests from getting merged but you still get warned about it while committing and in the editor.

[kommunarr]

That is reasonable. They do have an experiment enableFix option that should hopefully make the removal of unused keys automatic. If it works well, we may be able to set it as a warning and not need to devote any bandwidth to it ever again.

LGTM, this should be fine to be included in v0.22.0
