I'm not understanding why our Drupal installation with 3 languages and English as the original source shows all three languages of developed content as source in the translation interface.

We want to instruct the 'client' to translate menu items and similar strings from an exported .po file yet this is complicated if it exports the original string in the 3 current languages.

Is this a fixable issue? Or is it not an issue but standard?

That's not a screen provided by the Translation Overview module. It looks like a core Drupal form. Re-categorizing this issue.

Component: translation.module » User interface
Priority: Critical » Normal
Status: Active » Closed (duplicate)

Please only mark as critical that which breaks functionality completely. And submit your issues in the right issue queue: The screenshot shows the interface from the Translation table module. A quick look over there reveals a duplicate issue to which you could add your perspective: #636126: Why does the original language also show up as it's own translatable column in the translation table?
