Translations Missing After i18n Changes

After Cursor reorganized your internationalization (i18n) files, translations are no longer working. Pages display key names instead of translated text, or missing locale files cause errors.

i18n configuration or translation file paths were broken during refactoring.

Error Messages You Might See

Translation key not found Locale file not found i18n not initialized JSON parse error in translation file
Translation key not foundLocale file not foundi18n not initializedJSON parse error in translation file

Common Causes

  1. Translation file paths changed, not pointing to actual files
  2. Locale not initialized or set correctly
  3. Translation keys changed, but not all places updated
  4. Language JSON file is malformed
  5. i18n library configuration broken after refactor

How to Fix It

Verify translation paths in config. Check locale JSON syntax: {"key": "value"}. Initialize i18n before app renders. Use consistent key names across files. Log detected locale and loaded files for debugging.

Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month. What I bring to AI-built apps: - I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0 - I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture) - I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting - I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code. Based in Poland (CET timezone).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add a new language?

Create locale file (en.json, es.json). Add to i18n config. Test by changing language in app.

How do I handle missing translations?

Set fallback language (usually English). Show key name if translation missing. Log warnings.
