godot-localization-qa-guard 0.1.0

CI-friendly localization QA for Godot CSV and PO translation files.

Godot Localization QA Guard

A CI-friendly localization QA checker for Godot CSV and PO translation files. It catches missing strings, duplicate keys, broken placeholders, UTF-8 BOM issues, fuzzy PO entries, unchanged target strings, missing project keys, and unused catalog keys.

This is intentionally safe to publish as a standalone tool: examples are generic and the functionality does not reveal private game systems.

Install

python -m pip install -e .

When published:

python -m pip install godot-localization-qa-guard
