Even if translation is missing, it shall fallback to english.

I tested it and was not able to reproduce with what we currently have on main:

However, the only way to reproduce is to actually remove the string from the en.json file so that it's not available for any english variant and then it will display the error when your language is Canadian English (en-CA)

But this string has been in the en.json since 848daebbeb40d97683ea9dbc4018af92581c518f (2018) so I see no reason for it to suddenly fail on version 7.11 as reported in the issue. Unless the RN translation system is completely broken or something else made it fail, I don't see any reason to worry. It works as expected. I also confirm the fallback to english works, I removed the string from the french file and text is properly displayed in english by default:

Thanks a lot for the investigation @NicolasMassart!
