I hadn’t noticed it at all, but during today’s check, I realized that a translation file was missing.

```auto
❯ ua
==> eos-update: bash-app-translate: warning: '/usr/share/endeavouros/translations/btr_eos-update_de' does not exist!
==> Falling back to en_US.
==> eos-update: bash-app-translate: warning: '/usr/share/endeavouros/translations/btr_eos-update_de' does not exist!
==> Falling back to en_US.
############################################################################
## eos-update: package updater & additional features.
############################################################################
==> Command: eos-update --aur 

```

No big deal, everything works fine. I think @manuel or @joekamprad is in charge of that? Or just tell me where I can get a translation file, if there even is one anymore.

Also noticed this and what I did is copy this file.

```auto
/usr/share/endeavouros/translations/btr_eos-update_en_US

```

And renamed it to

```auto
btr_eos-update_nl_NL 

```

That seems do do the trick for now.  
BTW you need admin rights for this.

Cool, thanks. Did the trick for now. Let’s wait for Manuel and Joe what they have to say

Thanks for the bug report!  
Translation support for eos-update is a new feature and not ready yet. Also, many translations and languages are missing and (tip: volunteers will be needed 😉).

Anyway, I will fix this bug as soon as possible.

Edit: the bug (the warning about missing translation file) has been fixed and the fix released to mirrors.

Edit2: if anyone renamed translation files as @keescase mentioned above, then please undo the change and then update the system.

I updated my system first and only then checked here 🫠  
So I deleted the file and ran `pacman -Syu bash-app-translate` again. Everything works now. Thanks, @manuel
