Examples of usage

Common errors

Missed phrase

Most often, the "Missed phrase" error is caused by the third-party extensions when the system tries to translate an empty string like __(''). Correspondingly to learn what module is causing the issues you have to run the following command:

grep -rnw . -e "__('')" -e '__("")'

Once you track down those files you have to change __('') to '' and __("") to "" in the file's code.

After you made the required changes in the corresponding files, you can to regenerate the translation dictionary. The error should be eliminated.
