Empty translation strings cause blank output

[micschk]

Not sure how string translations usually get filled with placeholder values. I'd guess translations should hold the english value untill they're translated? In this module it seems translation strings got added to existing Yaml translation files, but the translation values were left empty. This causes fields/titles etc to be blank instead of falling back to their english translation.

Eg "what's that interesting title-less queuedjob being added there?"
(spoiler-alert it's the SilverStripe\SessionManager\Jobs\GarbageCollectionJob, in Dutch called '')

NOTE: some of these blank values have in the mean time been filled in the repo but there's still duplicate files for nl (nl_NL), both with some empty values in them it seems.

Yes, that's normally how this would be done. I don't know why they're showing empty...

Do you know if this is a regression that has been introduced recently, or if it was always like this?

In either case, translation strings are handled via transifex. If you update the strings there (to either the correct translated string, or to be the same as the english string) then it will get updated the next time we do a release.
