Individual translation keys are not soft-deleted — deleting a key removes it directly (its change is still recorded in translation history). Trash recovers whole projects, not single keys.
Recovery Workflow
- Open Trash
- Locate the deleted project (each shows days remaining before permanent deletion)
- Restore it — this brings the project and its translations back
- Re-run export validation
Retention & Permanent Deletion
- Deleted projects are kept for 30 days
- Once the window passes, restore is no longer available
- Permanent (hard) deletion removes the project, its translations, and related
notifications, and is restricted to organization admins (
org:admin)
After Restore
- Check references in application code
- Revalidate locale completeness
- Notify reviewers if the restored content affects a release
