has:variant should always search for string(s) that have variant(s) in the language in which the user is searching

[Geeyun-JY3]

Describe the issue

Currently, has:variant would search for string(s) that have variant(s) in any one of languages, rather than in the language in which the user is searching. This may confuse the user.

And there is a redundant Things to check panel with nothing but a title in the full editor, while the current string has no variant in the current language, but has variants in other languages.

I already tried

• I've read and searched the documentation.
• I've searched for similar filed issues in this repository.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Go to the search page of a language
2. Enter has:variant
3. Find a string that has variants that are not in the current language

Expected behavior

has:variant should always search for string(s) that have variant(s) in the language in which the user is searching, rather than in any one of languages.

Screenshots

Example:
a string that has no variant in Chinese (Simplified Han script):

(And there is a redundant Things to check panel with nothing but a title.)
but has variants in English:

@Geeyun-JY3 could you share more details about how the variants were added (manually, via the regular expression or with a tag)?

[Geeyun-JY3]

I did not add the variants mentioned above. But they are obviously added manually.

@gersona These are manually added, can be seen here:

• https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/weblate/glossary/cs/?checksum=6524385c7f47f79e
• https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/weblate/glossary/en/?checksum=6524385c7f47f79e

The variant is IMHO always added in the source language, but the translation for those doesn't have to exist (what is the case here).

@Geeyun-JY3 It would be useful to include such a link in the report as it's not obvious to everybody where to find that.
