Impossible to republish, impossible to delete

[g964]

I can't republish this kata:
https://www.codewars.com/kata/56dbeec613c2f63be4000be6/edit/fsharp

I can't delete the F# language in this kata (I thought that could have been a solution...). " Are you sure you want to delete ?" -> "YES, I WANT TO DELETE THIS LANGUAGE" but nothing happens !

[g964]

I forked the F# translation and that fork was published but when I try to train on this kata in F# it is always the previous version which remains, not the forked one.

Do you want to delete F# or edit it? I was able to do a test publish and update the test cases. I didn't try to delete it since I'm not sure if thats what you really wanted.

As for forking translations. Did you fork a translation after it was approved? Once a translation is approved, the translation no longer has any effect on the kata - you have to edit the kata directly.

Could you have a look at:

https://www.codewars.com/kumite/5807833f2e14ac6d3900013b?se+l=58079a7e765e00bedf00002d&sel=5807833f2e14ac6d3900013b

There are two F# translations.
The first one is the original version with a typo in the "transpose" function of the random tests.
The second one is the forked one with the typo fixed.
Both were approved. I want that the kata on which one trains be the second one but when I published the fork and then approved it, it appears that one still trains on the original (bad) version.

So if you can, the better is to delete the F# version of the kata and after that I hope I will be able to publish a fresh new one version (without typo:-)

PS: how come it is impossible to delete a translation?

[jhoffner]

Yeah unfortunately whichever translation gets approved first becomes the one copied into the kata. Its a bug that you can possibly approve 2 or more translations.

Just to be clear, once a translation is approved, nothing and I mean nothing matters in terms of what you do with a translation after the fact. If you want to fix F#, you need to make the changes directly to the kata itself.

Thats why I still feel a bit confused about what you want here. Why delete F# from the kata when you could just fix it directly?

[g964]

Yes I can edit the translation to fix it and I have done that for that translation so many times but when the fix is written it is then impossible to re-publish it : always timing-out. So it is as the fix was never done...

Every single time I get
Please wait while we publish We are validating your code and publishing your changes. This shouldn't take too long.
and 15 or 30 seconds afterwards
Publishing Timed Out! The server timed out while trying to publish your changes. CANCEL
It has already happened with other kata and other languages when republishing...

It is why I want this F# translation deleted hoping that it will be possible to do a new F# translation without problems.
As you can see I can't fix the problem directly, as you said, despite the fact that I have to add only two letters in a word and that nobody - at this moment- did this F# kata.

@lhysrc reported correctly the following problem because I cannot republish the F# translation:
`
F# version: I get error:

| (::)::_ as m -> List.map List.head m :: transpose (List.map List.tail m)
----------------------------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^

/runner/stdin(70,65): error FS0039: The value or constructor 'transpose' is not defined

No news?

I'm on vacation for a wedding but it's at the top of my list for when I get back.

I deployed some updates, still need to do some of my own testing but so far so good.
