TLDR: Event renders with recurrence text of `Every [missing %{weekday} value]` instead of ‘Every Tuesday’.

We use English-UK as our locale.

It seems as though %{weekday} isn’t being fed the variable by the plugin.

The google machine suggested I might need a translation for  
`discourse_calendar.post_event.recurrence.every_week` but that doesn’t seem to exist in the lookup.

I tried making a whole new event using the automatic generator in case it was a problem with the template, but the new event has the same problem.

```plaintext
[event start="2026-06-02 19:00" status="public" timezone="America/Edmonton" recurrence="every_week" end="2026-06-02 21:00"]
[/event]

```
