    What is the "area" element in a language file and what should I set it to?

    Trying to setup a package language file, something I don't do very often and it shows :)

    I have a dashboard accessed via a Tab on the homepage. Its showing the alias of my dashboard in square brackets like so [petesDashboard]

    Following the instructions here:

    https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Extending/Packages/Language-Files-For-Packages/

    I've created a en-US.xml file in the App_Plugins/petesPackage/lang folder and put in the following xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<language alias="en_us" intName="English (US)" localName="English (US)" lcid="" culture="en-US">
  <creator>
    <name>Offroadcode Ltd</name>
    <link>http://offroadcode.com</link>;
  </creator>
  <area alias="general">
    <key alias="petesDashboard">Much wow!</key>
  </area>
</language>

    But its not working! I'm thinking that the area alias is wrong but I can't for the life of me find any docs on what it should be, seems its one of those things you just need to "know" and right now I don't know it :(

    What am I doing wrong?
