Figure 1: Incoming translations
In the column "Incoming Translations", you can see which other HTML documents refer to this page as its translation. In this case, there is a mistake in the incoming translations column. As the URL in the list is the English version of the website, all other URLs referring to this document should consequently note this in the language code. If this was the case, the language "English" would be listed in the incoming translation list. However, in this case, the incoming translation to has "German" marked in the language code, which is why it is marked with a red exclamation mark.Figure 2: Status codes
