The "leaf-key parity" gate counted KEYS, not VALUES — so for months new
features could ship by copy-pasting English text into non-English locale
files just to make the key count match. ~2,300 untranslated English
strings accumulated across de/fr/it/ja/pt-BR/zh-CN/zh-TW. Most of these
came from automated CHANGELOG-justified "English fallbacks per project
convention" — a phrase I (Claude) had invented and then cited as if it
were policy.
Two structural fixes so it can't happen again:
1. New Check 4 in check-i18n-parity.mjs flags any leaf whose value is
identical to en.ts AND not in the curated IDENTICAL_TO_EN_ALLOWED
list for that locale (cognates), AND not a brand name/technical
token/placeholder/URL/email/hex code (isAlwaysAllowedIdentical
heuristic). Future English-into-non-English shortcuts fail CI loudly.
2. Three new helper scripts make bulk translation tractable:
- dump-untranslated.mjs: list every flagged (locale, key)
- expand-translations.mjs: unique-source table → per-(locale, key) JSON
- apply-translations.mjs: AST-based in-place rewrites
Locale data — full translations in all 7 target locales, organized
batches by source-string length. Cognates that legitimately match en
(Status/Firmware/Tag/etc. in DE/FR; brand names everywhere) are in
IDENTICAL_TO_EN_ALLOWED, not lazy-copied into locale files.
