How to use Locale QA

1Paste the original JSON locale dictionary.
2Paste the translated dictionary using the same key structure.
3Run the comparison and repair missing keys or mismatched placeholders.
4Run the checker again, then test formatted messages inside the resource.

Before you publish

Keep positional printf arguments in their original order.
The checker accepts nested objects with string leaves, not executable Lua.
Matching placeholders does not verify translation meaning or ICU message syntax.

Common questions

Can I paste a Lua locale table?

Not directly. This tool accepts JSON dictionaries only and never executes Lua. Convert the dictionary to JSON before comparing.

Which placeholders are supported?

Common printf tokens such as %s and %d, plus {name}, %{name} and ${name}. Escaped %% is treated as a literal percent sign.
