localize

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

Use validate mode to compare each locale's string table against the English source. It checks completeness, placeholder mismatches, character limit violations, plural form counts, orphaned keys, and stale translations, grouping results by locale and severity.

A string freeze locks the source English string table so translators work on a stable target. Call it after all UI, dialogue, and system strings are final and scan shows zero hardcoded strings; post-freeze additions are tracked as 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, flagging BLOCKING versus ADVISORY issues.

The vo-pipeline mode scans dialogue keys to build a recording manifest, generates per-character scripts with director notes and pronunciation guides, validates recorded audio files against the manifest, and verifies audio references in code resolve correctly.

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 may still ship through the release gate.
