Description
It is possible to have a block theme without translation functions, for example if the text strings are in the HTML templates.
The error message is:
REQUIRED: This theme text domain does not match the theme's slug. The text domain used: This theme's correct slug and text-domain is kubrick2.
The text domain is missing in the message above.
