Extraction fails for dictionary item if language is deleted

[bjarnef]

I noticed after deletion of default en-US language and committed to Umbraco Cloud, but if another developer on local environment still had en-US language and schema for dictionary items were generated with en-US translation for Umbraco Cloud, the extraction failed.

Could it instead just skip the translation in case the language for some reason doesn't exist on the remote environment or maybe a warning instead of an error if possible?

If the other developer re-saved the dictionary items locally they were updated without en-US in translations and the extraction was successfully on live environment.

We've implemented a fix for this issue, so from the next releases there'll be a configuration option to allow you to ignore errors for dictionary items that contains translations for languages that don't exist in the target environment. They'll just be ignored when doing a transfer or a restore.

    "Settings": {
      "IgnoreMissingLanguagesForDictionaryItems": true|false
    }
