Have you ever wondered why a translated string isn’t used by Discourse? Is Discourse [showing wrong numbers and dates](https://meta.discourse.org/t/incorrect-time-delta-on-post-ru-interface-only/83390) when a locale other than English is used? Are you seeing [“Invalid Format” errors](https://meta.discourse.org/t/some-syntax-error-related-to-polish-language/96281) in some parts of Discourse?
It’s quite likely that an error in some translations is causing those problems. There’s a rake task that lists all problems found for a specific locale. You can run it inside your Docker container as well as in your development environment by executing the following command:
```plaintext
rake i18n:check[locale]
# replace "locale" with the short name of the language, e.g. "bg" for Bulgarian
```
The output for Bulgarian currently looks like this:
Are you curious about errors in all locales? Simply run `rake i18n:check` without the `[locale]` parameter…
### How can I fix those errors?
1. Visit [Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/discourse/discourse-org/) and select the correct language and resource.
2. Search for the problematic translation by using the `key:` filter.
### Why are there so many “Missing interpolation key” errors?
Some languages should always use the `%{count}` variable in pluralized strings. The rake tasks knows about them and always prints an error when that variable is missing. See [Always use %{count} variable when translating pluralized strings](https://meta.discourse.org/t/always-use-count-variable-when-translating-pluralized-strings/83969) for more about that.
### How can I fix Message Format errors?
Translating Message Format can be a bit tricky, but there’s a pretty good topic that should get you started: [Message Format support for localization](https://meta.discourse.org/t/message-format-support-for-localization/7035)

First of all, gotta love Discourse and its community, you’re the best example how to approach solving problems with other people 🙂
So, I took a look into the console and that’s what I got:
So, it means there’s a lot of not properly translated sentences, yeah? Or there may be some warnings which don’t always affect badly?

No, all of those are errors and should be fixed.

Gotcha, I’m gonna work on this 🙂

「`Failed to check locale files for XX`（すべての言語）と表示された場合、どうすればよいですか？
Pavillon Plugin で多言語対応を試しましたが、無効にしてアンインストールしました。数週間かけて言語ファイルを修正しています :)」
