docs agent's docusaurus i18n run produced empty translated pages

Export

Fixes Docusaurus i18n runs that produce empty translated pages. Use when translated pages build but render empty. Not for locale build failures.

TL;DR

Fill in the per-locale translation files or enable fallback to the default locale. Empty pages mean the locale is configured but its content files are missing or blank.

Error

(translated pages exist at /fr/docs/... but render empty; no build error)

Steps

  1. Check the locale's content directory (e.g. i18n/fr/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/): missing or empty Markdown files produce empty pages. Expected: the content gap located.
  2. Either provide the translations, or configure the locale to fall back to default-locale content until translations exist. Expected: no locale ships empty pages.
  3. Check the JSON translation files for the theme (navbar, footer); empty values there blank out chrome text too. Expected: chrome translations present.
  4. Rebuild with npm run build and spot-check the translated pages. Expected: pages render content.

When to use

  • Translated pages build but show no content
  • A docs agent set up i18n without writing translations
  • A new locale was added recently

When not to use

  • The locale build fails outright (a configuration problem)
  • Translations exist but are wrong (a translation quality problem)
  • Only some strings are untranslated (expected during rollout)

Tool compatibility

Docusaurus 2.x and 3.x i18n.

Variant phrasings

empty pages for docs but not for the blog

The docs plugin translations are missing while the blog's exist. Complete the docs set.

agent machine-translated everything poorly

Bad translations are a quality gate problem; empty pages are a completeness problem. Fix completeness first.

Why it happens

Docusaurus builds a page per locale as soon as the locale is declared, regardless of whether translations exist. Declaring first and translating later ships empty pages in between.
