Additional languages in client.csv cause all non-default copy to fail

rikukissa commented 1 month ago

Describe the bug

If there are language copy items in the client.csv files for languages not defined in the overall OpenCRVS config, none of the copy items in the CSV files will work.

Additionally, this does not produce a clear, actionable error message for the user.

So for example, if you have both English and French in your client.csv

id,description,en,fr
advancedSearch.accordion.hide,Label for hide button when accordion is closed,Hide,Cacher
advancedSearch.accordion.show,Label for show button when accordion is closed,Show,Voir

but only English in your client-config.js

window.config = {
  // ...
  LANGUAGES: 'en',

Tech tasks

[ ] In client where this error originates from, ignore all languages not defined by the LANGUAGES variable.
[ ] In the case of extra languages when in development mode, output a warning message to the browser console instructing the user to add the new language to the LANGUAGES variable.

@rikukissa I wonder how to classify this in terms of priority. Is it not just a configuration error?

@euanmillar You could say it is, yea. At the same time, intuitively, I would assume providing additional languages from country config wouldn't break the system. Quick fix for this allows us to not have to impose a specific rule for this so less docs to keep up to date.
I'd say because of this, medium priority.
