Potential problems in language

Go back.

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 voice strings

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: "Listan loppu")
