i18n Resource Audit

Audit localization changes with concrete resource and call-site evidence.

When To Use

Use when a task changes or reviews:

• String resources, plurals, arrays, or locale files
• Resource key renames/removals
• User-facing text in app or business code
• Placeholder or formatting behavior

Required Context

Read first:

• AGENTS.md
• i18n/AGENTS.md
• docs/ai/playbooks/i18n-resources.md
• Relevant default resources, locale resources, and Kotlin call sites

Audit Checks

Verify with file evidence:

• Every referenced user-facing string exists in the default locale.
• Placeholder names, counts, types, and positional markers match across locales.
• Resource keys are meaningful and aligned with existing prefixes.
• Hardcoded user-facing strings are not introduced in app/business code.
• Non-translatable literals are marked or kept out of translation resources.
• Locale fallback behavior is intentional for missing translations.

Process

1. Map changed resource keys and all Kotlin/XML call sites.
2. Compare default and locale-specific entries for placeholders and escaping.
3. Search the touched area for hardcoded user-facing strings.
4. Cite file paths and line numbers for each finding.

Validation

Recommend:

./gradlew :i18n:compileDebugKotlin

Compile affected app variants when resource usage changes. If unavailable, state resource-risk remaining.

Output

Return a concise Markdown report with:

• Scope and locales reviewed
• Pass/fail table for each audit check
• Evidence-backed findings with file paths
• Placeholder or fallback risks for PR notes
• Validation run or not run, with reason
