SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the complexity of managing multi-language support in software projects, specifically targeting the risks of hardcoded strings and inconsistent translation files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hardcoded String Detection: Automatically scans source code to identify text that has not been externalized for translation.
  • Locale Consistency Audit: Validates that all translation files across different languages contain the same keys, preventing runtime crashes due to missing strings.
  • Use Case: Use this skill during the pre-release phase of a web application to ensure that all UI components are fully localized and that your JSON translation files are synchronized across all supported languages.

Quick Start

Run the i18n checker script by providing the path to your project directory to identify hardcoded strings and missing translation keys.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect hardcoded strings in source code for internationalization?

You can detect hardcoded strings by running a Python-based static analysis script that scans your project directory to identify text that has not been externalized for translation. This automated code auditing ensures UI components are fully localized.

How do I validate translation file consistency across multiple locales?

You validate translation file consistency by running a locale consistency audit that checks JSON translation files across different languages. This ensures all files contain the same keys, preventing runtime crashes due to missing strings.

What is the best way to synchronize JSON translation files for a web application?

The best way to synchronize JSON translation files is to run an automated locale consistency audit during your pre-release phase. This validates that all supported languages contain matching keys to prevent missing translation errors.

Can I use Python for automated code auditing of i18n and l10n management?

Yes, you can use Python for automated code auditing of i18n and l10n management. The static analysis script checks for un-externalized text and validates locale file synchronization without requiring external dependencies.

Why do I need to check for missing translation keys before releasing my app?

You need to check for missing translation keys to prevent runtime crashes caused by inconsistent locale files. Validating that all JSON translation files contain the same keys ensures your multi-language support works reliably.
