E8063 error

Locale string uses different placeholders than the base locale

area: stdlib (x8xxx)
fails the build: yes

A translation uses other placeholders than the base locale's string for the same key. A key with placeholders ({name}) becomes a function whose parameters are the base locale's placeholder names, so a translation must use exactly the same names. It may put them in any order and repeat them. {{ and }} are literal braces, not placeholders.

× failslocales/enUS.jsonjson

{ "WELCOME": "Welcome back, {name}!" }

locales/deDE.jsonjson

{ "WELCOME": "Willkommen zurück, {spieler}!" }

src/main.wowluawowlua

import L from "wowlua:locale"print(L.WELCOME({ name = "Thrall" }))

✓ compileslocales/enUS.jsonjson

{ "WELCOME": "Welcome back, {name}!" }

locales/deDE.jsonjson

{ "WELCOME": "Willkommen zurück, {name}!" }

src/main.wowluawowlua

import L from "wowlua:locale"print(L.WELCOME({ name = "Thrall" }))

The compiler reports it like this:

error[E8063]: `WELCOME` in `locales/deDE.json` uses the placeholders [{spieler}], the base locale [{name}]
 = in locales/deDE.json
