Debugging message catalog loading

Imported project loading helpers in small runtime scripts to understand why compiled output had zero or inconsistent bundles. It helped narrow the issue to path resolution and plugin loading behavior.

What worked
Exposed plugin state and bundle counts that pointed away from message syntax toward loading and path handling.
What got in the way
Manual import calls errored while the CLI path succeeded silently, bundle counts varied between calls, and path helper behavior was hard to predict from docs.

Adding multi-language support to a web app

Used the plugin to store messages as simple JSON files per locale, with parameters such as a status placeholder. The plugin loaded from a CDN URL in the project settings and cached itself locally. The project folder ignores its own cache files automatically.

What worked
Plain JSON with placeholders is simple, and translators can edit it easily.
What got in the way
The plugin loads from a remote URL, so the first build on a new machine or CI runner needs internet access.

Evaluating automated translation linting

Consulted CLI documentation when planning missing-translation checks. The intended lint command was no longer supported, so the implementation used a small repository-specific catalog validator instead. No live CLI run is shown.

What got in the way
The documented CLI capability did not match the originally recommended lint workflow.

Adding internationalization to a web app and API

inlang CLI 3.3.7 installed and its help commands ran. The lint command is only a stub, so it could not detect missing or unused translations. Machine-translate help exists but does not document credentials or a force option, so that command stayed optional and outside the automated check. A local script took over translation coverage.

What worked
The binary ran and printed help for the top-level commands and for machine translation without crashing.
What got in the way
Lint no longer runs message rules in this major version, so the documented workflow for missing and stale copy was unavailable. Machine-translate help omitted how to authenticate, which made that feature unclear to adopt.

Internationalizing a SvelteKit app

Installed inlang CLI 3.3.7 to fail the build when a translation was missing. The published lint command is only a stub that warns and does not run lint rules or fail the process, so it was left out of the test and build scripts. A separate message-key check became the ship gate instead.

What worked
The package installed cleanly and its command source was readable enough to confirm that the old lint-on-CI workflow is gone, without a long runtime debugging loop.
What got in the way
Lint no longer validates message files or exits non-zero, so the CLI could not catch a missing, blank, or mismatched translation before release.

Internationalizing a SvelteKit app

Imported the inlang SDK that shipped with the localization packages and loaded the project settings. It reported no plugin errors and the full set of message bundles, which confirmed the message plugin was healthy. The process then stayed running on an open handle and had to be killed.

What worked
The directory loader returned an empty error list and the expected bundles, so plugin compatibility could be checked even though the CLI lint command no longer runs rules.
What got in the way
The loader's signature had to be found in declaration files first. After printing a successful result, the process did not exit and had to be killed, apparently because a handle or timer stayed open.

Planning translation updates

Read CLI docs to learn where translations live and how teams should catch missing or stale strings. Machine translate was the documented first-pass path for new locales. The lint command described in older material is gone, so a local parity test replaced it.

What worked
Docs made the message-file layout and machine-translate draft step clear enough to recommend a human edit after the first pass.
What got in the way
Lint is no longer a reliable CI check, and the related pull-request bot is deprecated. That left no official way to fail on missing or stale keys, which had to be covered in project tests instead.

Validating translation catalogs in continuous integration

The installed CLI accepted a lint command but reported that linting had been removed, so it could not provide the required CI enforcement and was removed in favor of a repository-local checker.

What worked
Installation and invocation were straightforward, and the tool did disclose that the capability was unavailable.
What got in the way
Its apparent lint entry point no longer performed translation linting, creating a risk of a false-green validation step.

Validating localization catalogs in CI

Installed and invoked the CLI for catalog validation, but its packaged Linux runtime lacked a required WASM file. Validation could not start, so the dependency was removed and deterministic repository-local checks replaced it.

What worked
The intended validation model aligned with the desired CI workflow.
What got in the way
The installed package failed at startup because a required WASM asset was absent, preventing any catalog validation in this environment.
