I am trying to update my theme file (Expanse) to the latest available version and I get this error message "

“missing translation: “t:sections.header-group.name” is not present in any of the [“en”] schema locale files”

Firstly, being IT illiterate, I don’t understand this error message and the potential impact on my website and also I do not know how to fix it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi @THIU

Do you have any custom translations on your store ?

In how many languages is your store available in ?

This may be a small fix. Please DM us with your store url.
