Description
We have some zimcheck warnings regarding redundant subtitles and translation files.
E.g. videos/2420/subs/subs_ckb.vtt and videos/2420/subs/subs_kmr.vtt, and also assets/videojs/lang/ba.json and assets/videojs/lang/hr.json" in https://cms.openzim.org/book/892ecb6f-c767-9284-63e2-376dc4765e1f
Why? is it normal? Should we automatically deduplicate entries in both paths with scraperlib utility dedicated to that?
