Need help with a missing translation error!

Store Design

Topic summary

Missing translation errors appear after making image banners clickable in the Dawn theme using an older tutorial. The error cites a missing key (e.g., t:sections.image-banner.blocks.heading.settings.heading_size.label) in the en locale when editing banner headings.

  • Cause: The tutorial code targets an older Dawn version, so schema translation keys don’t exist in current locale files. A contributor notes this won’t break storefront functionality; it only shows errors where the translation is referenced.

  • Proposed fixes:

    • Replace outdated schema labels with keys that exist in newer Dawn versions (one shared code sample switched several labels to t:sections.all.colors.* and adjusted settings).
    • Alternatively, add the missing translation strings to the language (locale) files, though this can be tedious.

  • Outcomes: The posted code fix resolved the error for at least one user. Another user still reports the same translation error despite using the shared code, suggesting theme/version differences remain.

  • Status: Partially resolved. Further troubleshooting or version-aligned code is needed; seeking updated instructions or support from the tutorial source is advised. Code snippets are central to understanding and applying the fix.

In order to make my image banners clickable I followed these directions (linked below, and pasted at the bottom):

https://ezfycode.com/blog/dawn-theme-clickable-banner-tutorial

After making this change I now get the following error when I edit headings in image banners:

missing translation: “t:sections.image-banner.blocks.heading.settings.heading_size.label” is not present in any of the [“en”] schema locale files

I would greatly appreciate any help I can get with this! Thank you in advance!

@EMSC
it’s Shows error because you have different theme version,
this code is for the older version,

Kindly Check out other code. or hire Some one to fix it out.
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply! Am I able to adjust the code to fix the issues, or do I need entirely new code?

If I don’t change anything, what kind of errors might this issue cause for me?

Thank you!

@EMSC
Yea, you need entire new code. or ask for the support from where is the code you have copied.

5

Thank you for your help. If I don’t change anything, what kind of errors might this issue cause for me? Where would you suggest I look for new code to try (to my knowledge there is no code available within the Shopify community for this change in Dawn 4.0). Thanks!

@EMSC - this will not cause any functional error like user not able to view product or click button, but this error will be shown wherever you have used this translation.

To remove this error this translation needs to be added to language setting file, which is easier said than done.

Hi, I have fixed the translation error in your code. Please try this code. Thanks
