Language written twice

error An error stops the build: nothing is published until it is fixed.

language in statac.yaml lists the same language twice. Capitals don’t make a different language, so en and EN are one. The message points at the second, and shows where the first was written.

What you’ll see

error  Language written twice: `en`
  More: https://statac.dev/e/language-written-twice/

In the terminal the message also names the file and line where there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac stops

The first language in the list is the site’s main language, and each language’s pages live in a folder named after it. With one language written twice, Statac can’t know which spelling names its folder, or whether the second was meant to be another language altogether.

How to fix it

Keep the language once, spelled as its folder is, and remove the other.

Example

In statac.yaml:

language: [en, ar, EN]

Each language once:

language: [en, ar]

Its name

Name	`language-written-twice`
In the terminal	`statac explain language-written-twice`
To stop showing it	It stops the build, so it can't be quietened.
