Safari: localized string not found

[Oliver G]

I just updated to Safari 14 beta to test out a couple of things, however for some reason the start page is now called...

localized string not found

This phrase is also mentioned elsewhere.

I can't find any reference to this being an issue with any Safari 14 beta, can anyone enlighten me on this issue and how to correct it?

I am using Catalina 10.15.6 and a 2017 iMac 4K.

This means that the localisation for the language you have set is not being found in the application bundle. What language is your Mac set to? Look in Language & Region in System Preferences

English (Australia) - Primary

I would guess the (Australia) is the problem. Try adding a second language below. I would note that Safari 14.0 on Catalina with language set to English (UK) and no secondary languages shows the correct strings for those localisation placeholders. Maybe try adding English (UK) as the second language? Or English (US) as it's normally the implementation localisation and should always have all strings.

Thanks for the suggestion, I just tried that but still the same.

Did you restart Safari?

Did you restart Safari?

Yep, full shutdown of Mac.

I've got the same problem here. Tried to change the language, reisntalled Safari beta and even reinstalled Mac OS through CMD+R on bootup. Safari is still version 14.0 after reinstallation. Any help?

Report the bug and wait for the next version.

I ended up restoring from my time machine backup if anyone is interested.
