  "description": "Check a product's translations against the source strings before they ship — every key present, every placeholder ({name}, %s, %1$d, ICU plural and select) carried over intact, the plural forms each language needs, markup tags balanced, and strings over their character budget — with a script that reads JSON, ARB, gettext .po, Android strings.xml and iOS .strings, and lists each problem with its key and locale. Use when someone asks to \"check the translations\", \"QA these locale files\", \"will the German fit\", \"why does the French build crash on this string\", or hands over locale files before a release.",
