I18N

Use when updating Lingui catalogs or fixing translations

File contents

Core rules

  • English (en) is the source catalog. Do not alter keys; only update translations.
  • Preserve placeholders and ICU syntax exactly (e.g., {name}, {count, plural, one {...} other {...}}).
  • Keep technical terms in English when appropriate (API, TypeScript, React).

Translation updates

  • Update src/lib/i18n/locales/{locale}/messages.json only; do not edit compiled outputs by hand.
  • Use ./scripts/put-transtation.js to safely update a specific entry without loading the full file into context.

Verification

  • Run pnpm lingui:extract when new messages are added.
  • Run pnpm lingui:compile to regenerate compiled catalogs.
  • Run scripts/lingui-check.sh to verify no missing translations.
  • Run scripts/i18n-check-key-equals-translation.sh to ensure key != translation in all locales.
