Description

When I delete a branch on the Code -> Branch tab, a message pops up that this delete is permanent and cannot be redone.

After confirming I see the image below where I can restore the branch...

It can be reverted in a very short time.

@kernie commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2023):

According to discussion at Crowdin (in German) for repo:branch.delete_desc there is a proposal to change it into:

"Deleting a branch is permanent after 'git cleanup task' was run (by default once per day). It CANNOT be undone. Continue?"

Is options/locale/locale_en-US.ini the right place to create a pull request?

Reference: github-starred/gitea#10167
Delete Branch "%!s()"

Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
