"No strings found!", but the PO file has strings

[figure002]

Describe the issue

I am suddenly unable to translate one specific language, Hebrew, for my project. I had no issues in the past. Other languages don't have this issue.

I checked the PO file for errors, but no errors are reported:

msgfmt -c po/he_IL.po

I can update the PO file with gettext 0.21 just fine, which suggests there is nothing wrong with the PO file itself.

In Weblate, I used repository maintenance to "Reset all changes in the Weblate repository". It successfully imported all translations, but Hebrew still has no strings, even though the PO file has strings.

And now I'm stuck.

You can find my project here: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/getgnulinux/
You can find the PO files here: https://gitlab.com/getgnulinux/getgnulinux/-/tree/main/po

I already tried

• I've read and searched the documentation.
• I've searched for similar filed issues in this repository.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Go to Operations > Repository maintenance.
2. Select "Reset all changes in the Weblate repository".
3. Weblate successfully imported the translations.
4. You'll see that all languages have a percentage, except Hebrew.
5. Try to translate Hebrew. Weblate reports: "No strings found!"

Expected behavior

The strings for Hebrew should appear in Weblate.

Maybe the files were still being processed? https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/getgnulinux/getgnulinux-pot/he_IL/ now shows strings.

Thanks for your answer @nijel, it's an honor! You pointed me in the right direction. It turns out I have two languages for Hebrew:

1. https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/getgnulinux/-/he/
2. https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/getgnulinux/-/he_IL/

I don't remember creating two. The first one has no strings, but the second one does hold all the strings. This was the cause of my confusion.

The first one has no component, hence "no strings". If I try to add the component, I get " The given language maps to a different language. Check language aliases settings.". Apparently it's just an alias for he_IL.
