Tooling

For issues related to localisation, flag @gautierchomel in the comments.

weblate

GitLocalize (Not used anymore)

From May 2024 to February 2025 we used, GitLocalized, a simple translation tool.

Old way

https://github.com/edrlab/thorium-reader/tree/develop/src/resources/locales

• npm run i18n-sort => ensure locales JSON files are "canonical" (sorted keys, consistent indentation and trailing line break)
• npm run i18n-scan => ensure locales JSON files have no missing keys and no superfluous/unused keys (this command analyzes the source code to search for well-known i18next usage patterns)
• npm run i18n-check => ensure "secondary" locales JSON files have no missing keys and no superfluous keys, relative to the "primary" English translation. Missing keys are automatically added with an empty string value, redundant keys are removed.
• npm run i18n-typed => rebuilds the TypeScript types for the locales JSON files (this enables static compiler checks)
