Collect I18N Change Merge Requests

Collect strict whitespace-prefixed merge request ids and corresponding changed i18n files from the source commits behind translation changes. Use when asked to analyze a git commit that changes language resource files such as `*_ar.properties`, `*_ja.js`, `*_fr_FR.jsp`, install templates, or `zh-CN.js` style editor resources; choose one language file per language group, map changed resources back to zh_CN or zh-CN baseline files, blame those source lines, and return deduplicated `\s!123` ids with file mappings while excluding repository-qualified ids such as `wmweb!123`.

Collect I18n Change Merge Requests

Workflow

Use the bundled script for this task. It codifies the fragile parts of the workflow:

Group language files by removing locale suffixes such as _ar.properties, _ja.properties, _fr_FR.properties, _ar.js, and basename locale files such as ar.js.
Pick one representative file per group, defaulting to the alphabetically first locale file.
For .properties, extract only property keys changed by the target commit's diff.
For other translation resources, extract changed new-file line numbers from the target commit's diff.
Map each representative file to the matching *_zh_CN.<ext> or zh-CN.js baseline.
Use git blame on each changed key or changed line in the baseline file to find the source commit for that text.
Extract only merge request ids matching strict whitespace-prefixed !123 with (?<=\s)!\d+.
Exclude repository-qualified ids such as wmweb!1025.
Output both file-group to id mappings and id to changed-file-group mappings.

Default supported extensions mirror template.NG/build/i18n/collectResources.js: .properties, .js, .jsp, .letter, .eml, .html, .cf, and .txt.

Quick Start

Run from the git repository root:

python3 /path/to/collect-i18n-change-merge-requests/scripts/collect_i18n_change_mrs.py HEAD

Useful options:

python3 /path/to/collect-i18n-change-merge-requests/scripts/collect_i18n_change_mrs.py <commit> --json
python3 /path/to/collect-i18n-change-merge-requests/scripts/collect_i18n_change_mrs.py <commit> --no-groups
python3 /path/to/collect-i18n-change-merge-requests/scripts/collect_i18n_change_mrs.py <commit> --locales ar,ja,ko,vi
python3 /path/to/collect-i18n-change-merge-requests/scripts/collect_i18n_change_mrs.py <commit> --extensions properties,js,jsp,letter,eml,html,cf,txt

Reporting

Report the total deduplicated ids first, then include the corresponding changed file groups for each id. State the commit analyzed and the strict extraction rule. If the script reports missing baseline keys, include that as residual risk rather than inventing ids from full file history.

Use the script output as the source of truth. Do not fall back to git log -- <file> for the whole file unless the user explicitly asks for full-file history.
