translify optimize

Optimize and format all translation files.

Usage

translify optimize
translify optimize --dry-run
translify optimize --no-sort

What it does

• Sorts keys alphabetically at every nesting level (enables clean diffs)
• Reports empty-value entries (keys present but with empty strings)
• Formats JSON with consistent 2-space indentation and a trailing newline

Example output

✓ Optimized 3 files

▸ Optimize results
  en       messages/en.json    187 keys    3 empty
  fr       messages/fr.json    187 keys    0 empty
  de       messages/de.json    187 keys    12 empty ⚠

--no-sort	Skip alphabetical key sorting
--dry-run	Preview what would change without writing
-c, --config	Path to config file

Tip: run optimize in CI

Adding translify optimize --dry-run to CI ensures translation files are always consistently formatted, catching any manual edits that don't match the expected format.
