How to fix it

  1. 1

    Compare actual and expected with the real language of each agency's passenger text.

  2. 2

    Correct erroneous tags. For genuinely multilingual source data, also review feed_lang; do not relabel correct text as another language just to remove the warning.

  3. 3
    Check the result

    After a repair, rebuild the archive and validate it again. Confirm that the affected records are correct and that no new related notices appeared. A reviewed warning or informational notice may remain when it describes intentional, supported data.
