extra-key

Warning · A key is not in the source.

git8n check reports this rule as a warning. It fails only past --max-warnings.

Why it matters

The application never asks for the key. It is often a key that the source renamed or deleted, and its translation is lost work.

Invalid

locales/en/common.json

What to do

Delete the key, or move its text to the new key of the source. A plural form that the language does not need is an extra key too.
