localize

Run the scan mode to search source code for string literals not wrapped in localization functions like tr() or GetText. It also flags concatenated strings, positional placeholders, and locale-insensitive date or number formatting, reporting file paths and line numbers without modifying files.

Use validate mode to check each locale's string table against the English source. It detects missing translations, placeholder mismatches, character limit violations, incorrect plural form counts, orphaned keys, and stale translations, grouped by locale and severity.

A string freeze locks the English source string table so translators work on a stable target. Call it after all UI, dialogue, and system strings are final and scans show zero hardcoded strings; strings added afterward are flagged as freeze violations requiring re-translation.

Yes, the rtl-check mode validates layout mirroring, Arabic ligature rendering, font character support, and string assembly order for RTL locales. It checks engine-specific settings for Godot, Unity, and Unreal, and flags directional icons or text-in-image assets needing mirrored variants.

The vo-pipeline mode scans dialogue keys to build a recording manifest, generates per-character recording scripts with director notes and pronunciation guides, validates that audio files exist and follow naming conventions, and verifies code references match files in assets/audio/vo.

Yes, the qa mode produces a PASS, PASS WITH CONDITIONS, or FAIL verdict per locale. A FAIL blocks release for that locale only, while other locales with passing verdicts can still ship through the release gate.
