# Can’t find variable: wp – JavaScript error

 * Using latest Ultimate Member, I am getting JavaScript error:
 * `Can't find variable: wp`
 * This relates to this block of code inserted by UM, particularly the bolded line:
 *     ```
       <script type='text/javascript'>
       ( function( domain, translations ) {
       	var localeData = translations.locale_data[ domain ] || translations.locale_data.messages;
       	localeData[""].domain = domain;
       	<strong>wp.i18n.setLocaleData( localeData, domain );</strong>
       } )( "default", { "locale_data": { "messages": { "": {} } } } );
       </script>
       ```
   
 * I think this relates to a widely-used performance function we use to defer all
   JavaScript.
 * 1) I can specify files to not be deferred (i.e. jquery.js), but I don’t know 
   what file the i18n snippet is relating to, can you let me know?
    2) Our site 
   doesn’t need i18n, so how can I just remove this snippet from being added?
