Less verbose translation logging

[Blacklands]

(Version used: 1.4.4-RC3)

Is there a way to just disable the internationalization functionality?
I have just started using Kord Extensions, and I am not interested in using the resource bundles (not at the moment, at least). I just want to be able to provide strings directly.

The (old) documentation mentions that "translations are optional". While this seems to be true (everything works fine), I am still getting an exception thrown for every single name and description of a slash command I set up for my bot.

I am seeing two debug lines in the log stating

Getting bundle (translations.kordex.strings, en_GB) for locale en_GB
Unable to find translation for key '[name/description contents of the slash command]' in bundle 'null'

And then a

java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find resource for bundle java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key [same as above]
	at java.util.ResourceBundle.getObject(ResourceBundle.java:563) ~[?:?]
	at java.util.ResourceBundle.getObject(ResourceBundle.java:557) ~[?:?]

(long rest of the stacktrace)

While this does not affect any functionality as far as I can tell, it is fairly annoying for development, since I am basically getting two full (long) stacktraces thrown into the console for every single slash command I set up, making it hard to read anything else there.

Is this a bug, or something that was simply missed so far? Or is it supposed to be like that?
If it is, how can I disable it?
I can't even just catch the exceptions, as far as I am aware (I've only recently starting migrating from Java to Kotlin), since they happen somewhere in a coroutine, and I am using the provided DSL to set up the slash commands so I can't put a try-catch block there, either, can I?

If there is no resource bundle set up, should the code be trying to find translation keys at all?
Alternatively, is there a switch to just turn off internationalization entirely, if one is not interested in using it? (Or at least during development, until one starts to add translations.)

Hey, thanks for the issue!

I was thinking about this the other day - currently they're debug level messages, which can indeed get annoying. My current plan is to switch them to trace logging.

The i18n stuff can't be disabled since it's a core part of the framework - it's relied upon by pretty much everything. The logging is there to let you know about missing translations, indeed - I think setting them to trace level and removing the traceback should be enough though, right?

[gdude2002]

This will be done in the latest push, as well as giving an explicit package name to the logger in case you want to change the logging settings yourself - it'll be com.kotlindiscord.kord.extensions.i18n.ResourceBundleTranslations.

Thanks for the quick response!

I didn't even realize that the stacktraces are part of the logging messages! I had been thinking that they are just printed to stdout by the runtime.
In that case, one could set their logging framework to (effectively) filter out that specific output (e.g. with a RegEx filter). (EDIT: Or by setting that specific logger explicitly to something lower than debug, yes.)

I think changing the log level to trace (and/or removing the traceback) is also worth considering, yes. The trace level to me means something like "I know this logging output is going to be a big mess, but I really need all of the information!" - so it feels like these messages belong more to trace than they belong to debug.

Well, like I say, it's already been pushed up. I'll likely get a release out soonish, since Kord's in another snapshot cycle, but we'll see.

[gdude2002]

Don't close it yet, it's not in a release yet haha

[Blacklands]

I apologize for the confusion; I started writing my response but then I went away and came back later to finish it, and ended up missing your update.
Anyway, thanks for solving this so quickly!

[gdude2002]

I'll be getting a release out shortly, so I'm closing this now - keep an eye on the releases section!
