This is probably related to #1855. I'll take a closer look when I get a chance, but I expect a quick fix would be to delete the LANGUAGE_CODE variable from your .env file

[mouse-reeve]

I'm having trouble replicating this, are you still running into this issue?

[mouse-reeve]

Since this has been sitting for a while, I'm going to close it. Please feel super super welcome to re-open if you're still having issues! I'd be happy to help

FWIW, I hit this same issue in current production. Resolved it by removing LANGUAGE_CODE, but if you want to open a new issue or reopen this one to figure out the details, I'd be open to helping out.

I'd love to get to the bottom of this, I'm not sure why I wasn't able to consistently replicate the erro, so help would be much appreciated

Same experience here. Failed to find translation files for "en-US", comenting out LANGUAGE_CODE line in .env worked

Running the docker on ubuntu with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 reported from locale

[damian-murphy]

Exact same error, current production branch as of today (06/03/2023). Also solved by removing LANGUAGE_CODE in the .env file

@mouse-reeve This is suggesting the issue may be that we need to run makemessages on initial install (probably as part of ./bw-dev setup): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37218145/no-translation-file-found-for-default-language

[SMillerDev]

I just had the same on a new setup on an ARM machine (with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 in the environment). Running ./bw-dev makemessages as "suggested" above did not help anything, commenting out the LANGUAGE_CODE did.
