Problem

We are getting a long list of warning for like this for all our languages ("de","fr","es","it","nl","fr-be","nl-be", "pl", "bg", "ro", "hu", "cz","com","at"), that causes our build pipelines buffer to exceed it's limits:

There is no trace of any language "art-x-cz or similiar in our codebase.

Could you please look into this?

Thanks a lot for your support

Maybe this is related to #7822 ?

[mhuberas24]

this is only the case for the "artifical" languages we use. In our case at, com, cz, and test. Renaming _index.cz.md to _index.cs.md and changing the configs rermoved the above mentioned error. So it seems to be related how hugo (go) handles the custom languages.

Did some additional digging:
Problems start with 0.76 (first with the no plural rule registered error (till 0.73) and then with the ones mentiones above)

I will have a look at this soonish, but today I'm busy busy with other things. This i18n upgrade from v1 to v2 was certainly more painful than I expected, but hopefully it's worth it.

I'm having the same issue, had to downgrade to 0.75, but was unable to reproduce outside of CI - worked fine locally.

[rue2020]

...same thing here, confirmed for 7.6.5 - not a dealbreaker, since page renders fine, nevertheless a bit concerning.

[rue2020]

confirmed for version 7.7.

I got the warning locally again when I just ran it with Hugo Static Site Generator v0.78.0/extended darwin/amd64
Warning: Failed to get translated string for language "art-x-cz"

Does anyone have a minimal reproducible example of this with v0.82 or later?

Does anyone have a minimal reproducible example of this with v0.82 or later?

Sent a minimal sample to reproduce this via PM.

[jmooring]

@dbelcher Thank you.

Minimal reproducible example...

The layouts/_default/single.html template calls i18n twice, once for a singular translation, and once for a plural translation.

git clone --single-branch -b hugo-github-issue-7838 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-github-issue-7838
cd hugo-github-issue-7838
hugo server

Results:

Now comment out the Japanese and Korean sections in config.toml and run hugo again:

WARN 2021/04/09 13:53:00 Failed to get translated string for language "art-x-tw" and ID "cat": %!s(<nil>)

Now do this:

rm i18n/jp.toml i18n/kr.toml
hugo

No warnings. I don't understand.

I've experienced the same issue with latest version hugo v0.82.1-60618210
I used custom language 'cht' and 'jp', they cannot be translated correctly. I've upgraded the client from a fairly old version (~2019), is there anything that I missed like any configuration?
