The 'settings' namespace has been listed in preloadNamespaces since at least Feb 2024 but the corresponding settings.json file was never created in public/locales/. No component uses this namespace either. In i18next v25 this was silently ignored. After the v25→v26 upgrade (Apr 27, 2026) a missing preloaded namespace blocks i18n initialisation, preventing the app from loading past the splash screen.

Summary
Removes
'settings'from thepreloadNamespaceslist insrc/i18n.js. The filepublic/locales/en-US/settings.json(and all other locales) has never existed in the repo, and no component uses this namespace. The app was broken by the i18next v25→v26 upgrade (Apr 27, 2026): v26 treats a 404 on a preloaded namespace as a fatal init failure, blocking the app at the splash screen.Changes
