Unmatched translation key

A page has a translation_key that no published page in another language has, so it is linked to no translation.

What you’ll see

warning  Unmatched translation key: no page in another language has `abuot`
  Did you mean `about`?

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

Why Statac warns

Statac builds the page as written. A key is there to link a page to its translations, so one that links nothing is usually a key spelled one way on one page and another way on its translation, or a translation still to be written. A draft, or a post waiting for its day, that has the key counts as having it: the page is linked once that one is published.

On a site in one language there is no other language, so no key links anything.

How to fix it

Write the same key on the page’s translation in each other language. Where the message offers a key from another language, check whether the two were meant to be one. If the page has no translation, take the key off.

Example

content/about.md has:

translation_key: about

and its English translation, content/en/about-us.md, has:

translation_key: abuot

Spelled alike on both, the two are linked:

translation_key: about

Its name

Name	unmatched-translation-key
In the terminal	statac explain unmatched-translation-key
To stop showing it	quiet: [unmatched-translation-key] in statac.yaml, once you have understood it. Statac still counts it.
