Potential problems in language

This page will help identify potential problems in your language file. I don't offer a way to fix this automatically, so you'll have to edit the language file by hand. Hopefully this page will still be of some help. Note that not all of these lines have to be actual problems, so pay attention to what you do.

Missing strings/targets

This is an error that should be fixed

Missing voice strings

This is almost certainly a mistake unless the string does not make sense in the language, and should be fixed before it's possible to generate meaningful voicefiles for the language.

Unnecessary voice strings

These strings are unnecessary, since they're not defined in the English language file. They should probably be removed

LANG_END_PLAYLIST:archosplayer: Voice not defined for English (set to: "列表结束")
