Lyrics not in the selected language

Warning language.selection-mismatch No automatic fix

Language recognition runs locally using statistical text analysis. Review the selected lyric language; short, mixed-language, and transliterated songs may be inconclusive.

Example

Flagged by this rule

[Verse]
Je regarde la lumière du matin
Et je sais que tu resteras avec moi ce soir

In the workbench this reads: Lyrics appear to be French, but English is selected.

Accepted by this rule

[Verse]
I see the morning light through every shadow
And I know that you will stay with me tonight

The fix

This finding has no automatic fix — resolving it is a judgment call, so the workbench points at the exact range and leaves the edit to you.
