SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates and stabilizes KMReader translations across locales by keeping Localizable.xcstrings up to date after code changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Maintain and refresh Localizable.xcstrings after new strings are added or existing keys change.
  • Support deterministic updates via misc/translate.py with per-key checks and language completion.
  • Assist with missing key discovery and context lookup to reduce translation drift.

Quick Start

First, run a full build and then execute the localization workflow to synchronize translations.

Frequently Asked Questions about localization

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep Localizable.xcstrings in sync after adding new Swift strings?▼

To keep Localizable.xcstrings in sync, enforce a full project build before running the localization workflow. This ensures deterministic updates via misc/translate.py, capturing newly added keys and preventing translation drift across all supported languages.

What is the best way to automate iOS app translation workflows during a release cycle?▼

Automating iOS app translation workflows requires deterministic updates through misc/translate.py, which enforces a full build before localizing. This provides per-key checks and batch translation support to refresh languages accurately during development, QA, or release cycles.

How does the translate.py script handle missing translation keys and context lookup?▼

The translate.py script handles missing keys by assisting with missing key discovery and context lookup to reduce translation drift. It applies deterministic updates to Localizable.xcstrings, providing per-key checks and verifying language completion after code changes.

Do I need to run a full build before executing batch translation updates?▼

Yes, you need to run a full build before executing batch translation updates. The localization workflow strictly enforces a full build before localizing to ensure deterministic updates through misc/translate.py and maintain accurate Localizable.xcstrings synchronization.

Can I check individual translation completion status for specific languages?▼

Yes, you can check individual translation completion status because the workflow provides per-key checks and language completion support. By running the localization workflow via misc/translate.py, you verify that Localizable.xcstrings accurately reflects all required translations.
