name: check-i18n description: This skill validates i18n (internationalization) key consistency across Go source and TOML locale files. Use when adding, modifying, or reviewing i18n keys in this project to ensure internal/i18n/keys.go stays in sync with internal/i18n/locales/*.toml files.

Check I18n

Overview

Validate that i18n keys defined in Go source code match the keys in TOML translation files. Ensures all keys in internal/i18n/keys.go have corresponding entries in en.toml and zh-CN.toml, and vice versa.

When to Use

  • After adding new i18n keys to internal/i18n/keys.go
  • After adding translations to internal/i18n/locales/en.toml or zh-CN.toml
  • Before committing i18n-related changes
  • To diagnose missing translation issues

Workflow

Step 1: Run the Check Script

Execute the validation script from the project root:

go run scripts/check_i18n.go

Or use the bundled script in this skill:

go run .claude/skills/check-i18n/scripts/check_i18n.go

Step 2: Interpret Results

The script compares keys.go with both locale files and reports:

OK Output (all keys match):

Comparing keys.go with en.toml:
  OK

Comparing keys.go with zh-CN.toml:
  OK

Error Output (mismatches found):

Comparing keys.go with en.toml:
  Missing in TOML (defined in keys.go):
    - error_new_key
  Extra in TOML (not in keys.go):
    - error_deprecated_key

Step 3: Fix Mismatches

Issue TypeResolution
Missing in TOMLAdd the missing key to the TOML file(s) with appropriate translation
Extra in TOMLEither remove from TOML or add the key to keys.go if it should exist

Key Format

In keys.go, keys are defined as:

const (
    ErrGeneric = "error_generic"
    ErrNotFound = "error_not_found"
)

In TOML files, keys are defined as sections:

[error_generic]
other = "An error occurred"

[error_not_found]
other = "Resource not found"
