To detect translation drift in .po files, compare them against the latest .pot file to verify all msgids are accounted for and identify outdated translations. This prevents silent-fallback bugs where new strings are missing after updates.

Silent-fallback issues in plugin translations occur when .po files lack new msgids present in the updated .pot file. This causes the system to silently fall back to the base language instead of displaying the new translated strings.

Yes, the translation currency audit is plugin-agnostic and works with any plugin that ships translated .po files. It validates headers, charset correctness, and translator contact information regardless of the specific plugin.

You validate .mo file freshness and Plural-Forms headers by running an audit that cross-checks the compiled binary files against their source .po files, ensuring charset correctness and verifying that plural-form rules are properly configured.

Updated .po translations may not show up if the files lack currency, meaning they are not properly synced with the latest .pot template. Missing msgids cause the plugin to silently fall back to the default language strings.
