# `translation.file_missing`

A supported locale has no language file.

Area 10, [Configuration and time](../topics/configuration-and-time.md); not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

Every supported locale has a language file for each folder that has messages, unless it is listed in `in_progress:`; here French has none.



```jadpo
translations {
    order_shipped: "Your order for {name} has shipped."
}
```

```text
error: `Locale.fr_fr` is supported but has no language file for `order_shipped`
 --> app.jadpo:5:31
  |
5 |     supported: [Locale.en_gb, Locale.fr_fr]
  |                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^ no `domains/shipping/translations/fr_fr.jadpo`
  reason: Every supported locale has a language file for each folder that has messages, so a call with `locale: Locale.fr_fr` has wording to show. A locale that isn't finished yet is listed in `in_progress:`, and falls back to the default until it is.
  next: Add `domains/shipping/translations/fr_fr.jadpo` with a `translations { }` that words `order_shipped` (agent)
