Question and Feature Request: Dealing with empty language strings

The default language pack comes with several pages of “empty“ language strings, which have no original/English output.

So when filtering and monitoring untranslated strings (which can be added with every version) these empty strings become a little annoying, because it means there will always be “untranslated strings“, even when everything that can be translated meaningfully, is translated. And I always have to scroll past these empty strings (or use the table sorting options) to find potential new strings that can be translated.

So, my question is: what’s the best way to deal with this? I saw someone suggesting to just put spaces in there or something, but I don’t know if that is actually a good idea or if that can cause issues.

I also wonder if IPS could resolve this issue, so it wouldn’t come up to begin with. All it would take is to have two filter options instead of one. One for the “empty strings untranslated“ and one for the “non-empty strings currently untranslated“.
