orphan-key

Default severity: warning

What it checks

A key exists in this target locale but not in the source locale, usually because it was renamed or deleted in the source. It is dead weight at best and a stale message at worst. Delete it or restore the source key.

Example

The English key was renamed; the French file still has the old one. Config used for both runs:

{
  "sourceLocale": "en",
  "files": [
    {
      "format": "next-intl-json",
      "path": "messages/{locale}.json"
    }
  ]
}

{
  "signIn": "Sign in"
}

{
  "signIn": "Se connecter",
  "login": "Connexion"
}

{
  "signIn": "Sign in"
}

{
  "signIn": "Se connecter"
}

Change its severity

{
  "checks": {
    "orphan-key": "error"
  }
}

Use "off" to disable it. To hide one finding, add "suppress": ["orphan-key:login"]; a suppress rule that stops matching is reported so it can be removed.
