I appear to have an empty banner box at the top of my page:

 ![empty banner box](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/b/4/2/b421d6a10305576f5eea3b7e737a1916be701487.jpeg)

Not sure what that’s about, but thought it worth mentioning. 🙂

hmm seems to be a missing translation in a theme component, thanks for pointing it out… @nat do you have any idea why these would be blank for [https://meta.discourse.org/admin/customize/themes/233](https://meta.discourse.org/admin/customize/themes/233)? seems to impact multiple languages

Hmm I think someone may have ran a script here in December before this feature was implemented. (was it me? 🤔 ~~likely.~~ yes, that theme component had a PR on the same date)

```plaintext
["be",
  "header_text",
  "\"\"",
  2025-12-12 04:04:28.703346000 UTC +00:00,
  2025-12-12 04:04:28.703346000 UTC +00:00],
 ["bg",
  "header_text",
  "\"\"",
  2025-12-12 04:04:43.737161000 UTC +00:00,
  2025-12-12 04:04:43.737161000 UTC +00:00],
 ["bs_BA",
  "header_text",
  "\"\"",
  2025-12-12 04:05:00.513920000 UTC +00:00,
  2025-12-12 04:05:00.513920000 UTC +00:00]

```

Anyway I’ve removed the manual empty overrides here. Thank you for the report @JammyDodger
