Hello.
As we were fixing a ton of typos in our project, I've found lotsa obsolete old-new blocks accumulating in the translation files.
Below is a simple small script to scan your translation files for these.
The script runs through all of your game .rpy's and all of your translation .rpy's, then checks the translation files to see if for each old-new block there's a _()-wrapped string (or a menu choice) in the game files.
If it can't find a line an old-new block points to, it'll list that old-new block.
Here's a demo of me ruining an old-new block to turn it into an "orphaned" one and using the script to find it:

How-to:
1) Download the git repo release .exe or grab a main.py.
1) Drop it into your project/game folder. If you end up using any other folder I'm not responsible for your results.
2) On first launch, the script will create a config file. By default it is set to scan for ru language code. You will most likely have to quit, change the target language code (equals the folder name in game/tl) and relaunch.
3) Hit y and enjoy.
Config options explained:
"language code":str
the name of the game/tl folder to scan
"jump one directory upwards": true/false
will jump one dir upwards so that you can keep the script stashed in game/devtools or a similar subdirectory.
"translation strings to skip": [str, str]
a list of strings to skip scanning for. Full lines, not substrings.
It can provide bogus results bc there's string parsing involved. If it does, do drop a line.
Stay thirsty. <3
