A Utility to check the validity of locale JSON files.

checkLocales validates that HTML tags and tokens {key} are not translated in a non-English locale file.

npm install --save-dev https://github.com/intervalia/checklocales.git

checkLocales -r

All locale files are JSON files and their names include the locale that it supports. All locale file names must match (except for the locale). For example:

strings_en.json would be a locale file for the en locale and strings_fr.json would be for fr.

The string files are a flat JSON file that uses Key/Value pairs.

{
  "BUTTON_CANCEL": "Cancel",
  "BUTTON_HTML": "<button class=\"my-button\">Buy a kite</button>"
  "BUTTON_OK": "OK",
  "LABEL_HIDE_DETAILS": "Hide Details",
  "LABEL_IMAGE_X_OF_Y": "Image %{number} of %{count}",
  "LABEL_SHOW_DETAILS": "Show Details"
}

Here is the list of available command-line options for checkLocales.
