i18n

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Audit internationalization coverage and find hardcoded strings. Use when user asks to "check i18n", "/i18n", "find hardcoded strings", "check translations", or wants to verify translation coverage. Don't use for backend string extraction, non-frontend code, or projects without an i18n library.

i18n Audit

Detection

Read

package.json

for i18n library:

```
react-i18next
```
/
```
i18next
```
```
next-intl
```
```
vue-i18n
```
```
react-intl
```
(FormatJS)

Read locale files to understand key structure (e.g.

src/locales/en.json

).

Workflow

Detect i18n library and locale file locations
Search JSX/TSX/Vue files for hardcoded user-facing strings (see patterns.md):
- String literals in JSX:
```
<p>Hello world</p>
```
- String props:
```
placeholder="Search..."
```
  ,
```
label="Submit"
```
- ```
aria-label="Close menu"
```
Compare locale files — find missing keys between locales:
bash
```
# keys in en.json but missing in pt.json
```
Report findings

Output format

Hardcoded strings (

file:line

):

src/components/Header.tsx:12  "Welcome back"  → suggest key: header.welcomeBack
src/components/Form.tsx:34    placeholder="Search..."  → suggest key: form.searchPlaceholder

Missing translations (key present in base locale but absent in others):

Key: dashboard.emptyState  missing in: pt-BR, es
Key: errors.networkTimeout  missing in: pt-BR

Rules

Only flag user-visible strings (skip internal IDs, CSS classes, URLs, enum values)
Suggest translation key names in camelCase matching project convention
Never auto-modify locale files — report only

Error Handling

If no i18n library detected → report project may not use i18n; still list any hardcoded strings found
If no locale files found → skip missing-key comparison; only report hardcoded strings
If locale files are not JSON (e.g.
```
.po
```
,
```
.yaml
```
) → read them anyway and adapt key comparison logic
