i18n-coverage

Github action that can be used to measure how many of you translatable strings have a translation available. Currently supported formats:

• gettext .po files

The action can also attach a neutral/success/failure check to the head commit that triggered the workflow, with the coverage results for each found language.

Example usage

Note, that you must include a checkout step before using this action in order to have the translations available. (Or any other alternative method ot get the translation files)

on: [push]

jobs:
  i18n-coverage:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Check i18n coverage
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Check i18n coverage
        uses: alexkiro/[email protected]
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          translations-path: 'translations/**/*.po'
          ignore-languages: 'en'

---

The total coverage percentage can also be retrieved from the output. E.g:

on: [push]

jobs:
  i18n-coverage:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Check i18n coverage
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Check i18n coverage
        id: i18nCoverage
        uses: alexkiro/[email protected]
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          translations-path: 'translations/**/*.po'
          ignore-languages: 'en'
      - name: Get the coverage
        run: echo "The coverage was ${{ steps.i18nCoverage.outputs.coverage }}"

Check results

The check details will be added to the triggered commit and will be displayed in GitHub. E.g:

Including the full details. E.g:

Inputs

translations-path

The glob patterns to the translations files to check. Defaults to "translations/**/*.po".

token

Github secret token, usually set to ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}. If not specified the check details are not attached to the commit, and therefore can only be found and used in the action workflow.

min-coverage

The minimum coverage required for this check to be marked as success. If not set or set to 0 the check is marked as neutral. Float values are supported.

• See sample pr for success: #1
• See sample pr for failure: #2

ignore-languages

Comma separated list of languages codes; if specified these languages will be excluded from the check.

only-languages

Comma separated list of languages codes; if specified only these languages will be checked instead of all.

Outputs

coverage

Total percentage of translated strings, across all checked languages.

Development

Steps to prepare dev environment:

1. Ensure you have nodejs version 12+ installed
2. Clone the repository
3. Install dependencies:

npm install

4. (Optional) Compile messages:

./compilemessages.sh

The main code entrypoint is src/index.js

Creating a new build

This action is using @zeit/ncc to deploy the the index.js together with required dependencies. A new build can be created using:

npm run build

This will update the dist/index.js file, which then needs to be committed and pushed to the repo. If this step is

Code style

The repo uses ESLint for linting. To lint and fix the code you can run:

npm run lint

Tests

There are no automated tests, however the github workflow will currently run the latest version of the action on the translations folder in the repo. This functions as a very basic smoke test.

The translations are managed using the sample code and the two scripts:

• makemesssages.sh (updates po files)
• compilemessages.sh (compiles po files into mo)
