Translation quality report

What breaks a translated app is rarely a badly chosen word. It is a {count} that disappeared, a plural that was rewritten by hand, a <b> that lost its closing tag, or a button label three times longer than the original.

AZbox checks all of that against your source language, without needing to know the language.

What it checks

• Placeholders. {name}, {{name}}, %s, %1$s, %{name}, :name, %@. Missing in the translation, or invented in it.
• ICU plurals. Braces that do not close, a plural without other, unknown forms, and forms the target language needs: Russian needs few and many, Japanese only needs other. Following CLDR.
• HTML tags. Tags that do not match the original, in kind or in number.
• Length. Translations far longer than the source — the usual cause of a clipped button — and suspiciously short ones.
• Spacing that differs at the start or end, and translations identical to the source, which usually means untranslated.
• What is missing: keywords with no text yet in a language.

Each finding is an error (placeholders, ICU, HTML: these break the app), a warning (length, spacing, missing) or info.

In the dashboard

Open a project and click Quality. Filter by severity or language, and download the whole thing as CSV.

In CI

The same report, from the CLI:

npx azbox-cli qa --fail-on error

84 keywords, source EN
  ES: 84 translated, 0 missing, 1 errors, 2 warnings
  FR: 61 translated, 23 missing, 0 errors, 0 warnings

  ✖ ES checkout.pay: Missing in the translation: {amount}
  ! ES home.cta: 214% of the original length: it may not fit

It exits with 1 when there is anything at or above --fail-on (error by default, warning if you want to be strict, none to only report), so a broken placeholder stops the deploy instead of reaching your users. --json and --csv print the full report to store as a build artifact.

Through the API

GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/qa?source=EN&languages=ES,FR

With an API key, like any other read. format=csv for the CSV. See the REST reference.
