Your locale files are drifting behind English and nobody reviews it

Your locale files are drifting behind English and nobody reviews it

Short summary

Locale files commonly fall out of sync with English source strings when developers add new keys but forget non-English versions, leading to production bugs. Manual translation introduces errors: placeholders get mangled and HTML gets stripped. i18n-autopilot, a new GitHub App, automatically translates missing keys on every PR while preserving syntax, free for public repos or $19/month for private ones.

  • •Locale files drift behind English when devs add keys without translating
