These are instructions for checking translation coverage in a pull request — verifying that every supported language receives all newly added or modified strings.
Complete this in four steps:
- Resolve the PR number
- Get the string keys being translated
- Determine languages covered and supported
- Report coverage
STEP 1: RESOLVE THE PR NUMBER
Do this before anything else.
- If the user provided a PR number or URL, use that.
CRITICAL: If no PR number was provided, stop immediately and ask:
"What's the translations PR number (or URL)?"
Do not run any other commands or proceed until you have a PR number.
STEP 2: GET STRING KEYS BEING TRANSLATED
Run this command against the PR diff to extract all translated string keys:
gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER> 2>&1 | grep '^+' | grep -v '^+++' | grep 'string name=' | sed 's/.*name="\([^"]*\)".*/\1/' | sort -u
CRITICAL: If no string keys are found, report that and stop — there is nothing to check.
STEP 3: GET LANGUAGE COVERAGE
Languages covered by the PR
gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER> 2>&1 | grep '^+++' | grep 'strings.*\.xml' | grep -oE 'values-[a-z]{2}/' | cut -c1-9 | sort -u
Full list of supported languages
ls app/src/main/res/ | grep -E "^values-[a-z]{2}$" | sort
Compare the two lists to identify which supported language directories are absent from the PR diff.
STEP 4: REPORT COVERAGE
Present results in this exact format:
## Translation Coverage — PR #<N>
**String keys being translated:**
- `key_one`
- `key_two`
**Languages covered:** <X> / <total>
**Missing languages:**
- `values-hu` — Hungarian
- `values-pt` — Portuguese
(or: None — all languages covered)
**Status:** COMPLETE / INCOMPLETE
CRITICAL: Always include the full language name alongside the directory code. If all languages are covered, say so clearly.
