translify check-consistency

Detect keys that aren't consistently mirrored across every locale — present in one language but missing from another. Unlike check-missing (which compares source code against translation files), this compares translation files against each other.

Usage

translify check-consistency
translify check-consistency --output report.json

Example output

⚠ Found 1 inconsistent key

▸ Locale inconsistencies

  Key                  Present in   Missing in
  ───────────────────  ───────────  ──────────
  home.subtitle        en           fr, de

When this happens

• A key was added to the default language but add-missing hasn't been run for the other locales yet
• A locale file was hand-edited and a key was accidentally deleted
• A key was added directly to a non-default locale file and never back-filled into the default language

Options

Option	Description
--output <file>	Write the report to a file (.json or plain text)

Exit code

• 0 — every key is consistently present across all locales
• 1 — one or more keys are inconsistent

Tip

Run translify add-missing to fill in keys that are missing from a locale relative to the default language.
