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

LANG_BATTERY_TIME: Missing target "archosplayer,archosrecorder,archosfmrecorder,archosrecorderv2,archosondio*,iriverifp7xx"

Wrong empty strings

When the English language is set to "" or none, the translation should follow. The strings below don't do this. This is an error and should be fixed.

LANG_DECAY:masf - voice: Empty string doesn't match English (set to: Tempo Decadimento AV - should be: )
LANG_CONFIRM_SHUTDOWN:soft_shutdown - voice: Empty string doesn't match English (set to: Premere OFF per spegnere - should be: )
LANG_BYTE:* - voice: Empty string doesn't match English (set to: bait - should be: )
