Every namespace the fork added -- main_tabs, feed, cards, watch, browse, search, player, and now account -- exists only in en.json, because the thirteen translated language files predate them. get_text() consults the embedded fallback dict and then gives up and returns the key, so a non-English UI read "main_tabs.watch" on its own tabs. This round made that worse by adding more English-only keys. The fallback dict now carries those namespaces verbatim from en.json. It does not translate anything -- a German UI shows English for these strings -- but nothing shows a dotted key, and keys added later degrade the same way instead of breaking. Translations that do exist still win: buttons.download is still "Herunterladen" in German. Verified across all fourteen language files: no key in the fork's namespaces resolves to itself in any of them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fork notes
SageTube is a fork of YTSage by
oop7 (MIT). The internal package keeps the
ytsage name so upstream fixes remain mergeable — see
Tracking upstream. The fork also fixes a number of
upstream bugs (unsafe partial-file cleanup, unverified binary updates,
thread-safety issues, PATH corruption on Windows — see the git log).
