Unused language file

The site has a file in languages/, such as languages/en-US.yaml, but Statac reads it for none of the site’s languages, so nothing in it is used.

What you’ll see

note  Unused language file: Statac reads `languages/en-US.yaml` for none of the site's languages
  Name it for the site's language, `languages/en-GB.yaml`, or take it out.

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

Why Statac says so

For each language that language: in statac.yaml names, Statac reads one file in languages/: the file named for it, or if there is none, the file named for a language it comes from, such as languages/en.yaml for en-GB. A file no language reads, such as en-US.yaml on a site in en-GB, changes nothing, and nothing else would show it, so Statac tells you.

How to fix it

Rename the file for one of the site’s languages, or for the language it comes from, such as languages/en.yaml for a site in en-GB. If the site names no language, write one in statac.yaml. If you don’t need the file, take it out, or quieten the note with quiet: [unused-language-file] in statac.yaml.

Example

A site in British English:

language: en-GB

with its translations in languages/en-US.yaml. Rename the file languages/en-GB.yaml, and Statac reads it.

Its name

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