For a current project, I’ve been struggling with my language files. They’re all JSON files, and will always fallback to English if translations aren’t available.

My problem is that when a new key is required, I use my english file by default. This leads to situations where my client wants to translate new keys to other languages, and I have to spend time looking at all files, figuring out which keys i haven’t added there.

Essentially I want to get to a point where I can give all the translation files to my client, and he returns them with the translated content.

What do you guys use for managing this? And how would you solve the situation i’ve found myself in.

    Part of my CI/CD is a script that makes builds fail if any of my languages are missing keys, it takes English as the desired result and checks all the keys to ensure they all exist and prints a report of the ones that are missing in csv format so I can send them to translators. I generally run this manually before committing, but having it in the CI/CD helps preventing these errors from making it into production…
