l10n-audit-toolkit 1.2.9

Cross-framework localization audit and translation QA toolkit

🌍 L10n Audit Toolkit (v1.2.5)

📚 Documentation: 👉 https://wael-daaboul.github.io/L10n-Audit-Toolkit/

pipx install l10n-audit-toolkit

The L10n Audit Toolkit is a professional-grade, project-agnostic localization QA and translation audit engine. Designed for modern engineering teams, it provides automated linguistic validation, semantic risk assessment, and smart auto-fixing for complex, multi-framework applications.

---

🏗️ Version 1.2.5: Universal Architecture

Starting with v1.2.5, the toolkit has transitioned to a Universal, Data-Driven Architecture. The core engine is now completely decoupled from specific project domains or frameworks.

[!IMPORTANT] All audit logic, terminology rules, and entity protections are now dynamically driven by your local configuration. This means the tool works flawlessly for medical apps, banking platforms, ridesharing services, or games without any code changes.

---

🚀 Quick Start & Configuration

The toolkit uses a Self-Documenting Configuration system with vertical, bilingual (Arabic/English) annotations to eliminate any ambiguity.

1. Initialize Your Workspace

Run the following command in your project root to generate the necessary directory structure:

l10n-audit init

2. Configure Your Audit

Copy the provided template and customize it to your project's needs:

cp config.json.example config.json

3. Namespace Overview

Your config.json is organized into four logical namespaces:

Namespace	Responsibility	Primary Settings
project_detection	Framework discovery	auto_detect, force_profile
audit_rules	Linguistic precision	role_identifiers, latin_whitelist, apply_safe_fixes
ai_review	Semantic intelligence	enabled, provider, model, api_key_env
output	Results management	results_dir, retention_mode

💎 Core Features

🧠 Smart AI Semantic Review

V1.2.5 integrates LiteLLM to provide deep semantic validation of identified issues. This eliminates false positives by understanding the intent and context of your translations.

• Provider Agnostic: Supports OpenAI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, and local models.
• Cost Optimization: Use low-cost 'mini' models (e.g., gpt-4o-mini, deepseek-chat) and tune the short_label_threshold to skip trivial labels like "OK" or "Save".
• Secure Integration: Never hardcode keys; use api_key_env to point to your system's environment variables.

🛠️ The Smart Auto-Fixer (--apply-safe-fixes)

Standardize your terminology automatically. If enabled, the tool will read glossary.json and replace forbidden_terms with their approved equivalents directly in your locale files.

• Whole-Word Matching: Prevents accidental substring replacements.
• RTL/LTR Aware: Maintains script integrity during replacement.

📁 Results Archiving & Retention

Maintain full audit traceability across your project's history.

• overwrite: Default mode. Replaces the last audit's Results directory.
• archive: Moves previous results to a timestamped _archives/ folder before starting a new run. Perfect for CI/CD audit trails.

⌨️ CLI Command Reference

Execute audits with precision using the standardized CLI interface.

Command	Description
l10n-audit --version	Verify installation (should show 1.2.5)
l10n-audit run --stage fast	Perform terminology and QC checks only
l10n-audit run --stage full	Run the complete audit suite (Grammar, AI, Terminology, QC)
l10n-audit run --apply-safe-fixes	Audit and automatically apply terminology corrections
l10n-audit doctor	Diagnose workspace and framework discovery issues

---

📝 Technical Notes for Power Users

• Brand Protection: Use the latin_whitelist in audit_rules to prevent the engine from flagging your brand name or technical terms (e.g., "DeepSeek", "API") as 'mixed-script' errors in Arabic text.
• Context Preservation: Defining role_identifiers (e.g., ['admin', 'captain']) ensures the AI and heuristic engines understand your app's specific persona contexts.
• Performance: Batch sizes can be adjusted via ai_review.batch_size (default: 20) to balance between execution speed and API rate limits.
