We return / display the translation key name if no translation is available for that language, including for the default (English).
Also, on dev / test environments we can enable a config (.env) setting to append the text " [UNTRANSLATED]" to every value that doesn't have a translation, as they're easier to spot in the website / interface.
I'm talking about a PHP /Laravel project so it was easy to override the default translation engine behaviour.
I suppose my main issue is with the actual language files. In terms of translation we also default to English. It's just a tedious job to remember to add they new key to every language file, which is a problem I'm facing now.
Due to so many new features, the non-English language files are quite outdated.
