Testing Instructions:
Hide

Unfortunately it's difficult to check that removed string is actually not used. I guess behat tests and approval from component leads should be sufficient

Testing string deprecation:

insert echo get_string('hidden', 'calendar'); somewhere, render the page and make sure debugging message is displayed

add some existing or non-existing strings to lang/en/deprecated.txt, make sure unittest lib/tests/string_manager_standard_test.php passes or fails

The issue first was created to deal with 6 unnecessary 'hidden' strings but grew up into string deprecation process.

lang/en/badges.php:$string['hidden'] = 'Hidden';

lang/en/calendar.php:$string['hidden'] = 'hidden';

lang/en/portfolio.php:$string['hidden'] = 'Hidden';

lang/en/question.php:$string['hidden'] = 'Hidden';

lang/en/repository.php:$string['hidden'] = 'Hidden';

lang/en/role.php:$string['hidden'] = 'Hidden';

Two "hidden"s remain because they are currently used:

lang/en/grades.php:$string['hidden'] = 'Hidden';

mod/scorm/lang/en/scorm.php:$string['hidden'] = 'Hidden';
