GlobalLingo

GlobalLingo lints the localization files of iOS, Flutter and React Native/Expo apps: String Catalogs, .strings and .stringsdict, ARB files and JSON translation files. It finds missing, empty and stale translations, placeholders and plural forms that do not match across languages, duplicate keys, keys the code looks up but no catalog defines, hard-coded UI text and Turkish dotted and dotless I traps, and names the fix for each finding. It reads files only.

API

The command line is a thin layer over the package's exports, so the same checks run from JavaScript:

import { render, scan } from '@mcamdali/globallingo';

const report = await scan('path/to/app', { locales: ['de', 'tr'] });
for (const catalog of report.catalogs) {
  console.log(
    catalog.id,
    catalog.coverage.map((item) => `${item.locale} ${item.translated}/${item.total}`).join(', '),
  );
}
console.log(render(report, 'markdown'));
Copy

scan returns a Report: the catalogs with their coverage per locale, the findings (rule, severity, file, line, key, locale, message, fix, documentation link, fingerprint), notes and totals. render turns it into tty, markdown, json, sarif or github output.
