Use the localize skill to scan for hardcoded strings in the source code.

Frequently Asked Questions about localize

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract hardcoded strings from game source code for localization?▼

Game localization string extraction is automated by scanning source code to identify hardcoded text and generate structured string tables. This process ensures all user-facing text is properly prepared for internationalization and translation management.

What is game localization validation and how does placeholder mismatch checking work?▼

Game localization validation checks for missing translations, placeholder mismatches, and character limit violations across multiple locales. It scans generated string tables to ensure translation consistency and adherence to internationalization best practices.

Can I integrate string extraction and translation management into my game development pipeline?▼

Yes, you can integrate this localization workflow into your game development pipeline to scan source code, validate translations, and report status. It prevents costly translation errors and hardcoded text issues before release.

What's the best way to track localization coverage and missing translations across multiple locales?▼

Tracking localization coverage is handled through status reporting, which provides a clear overview of translation completion and potential issues across multiple locales. It identifies missing translations and placeholder mismatches automatically.

Why does internationalization fail when hardcoded text is not extracted into string tables?▼

Internationalization fails because hardcoded text in source code cannot be translated or managed across multiple locales. Extracting strings into string tables ensures all user-facing text is properly identified and prepared for translation workflows.
