Locale — issue codes (i18nprune.locale.*)

← Issue codes index

target_not_found

Code: i18nprune.locale.target_not_found
Severity: error or warning depending on command mutability.
When: --target names a code with no matching locales/<code>.json (excluding the source locale where applicable).
Who: locales edit, locales delete, generate --resume (missing locales/<code>.json), missing --target, and similar target resolution paths.
What to do: List locales with i18nprune locales list, fix spelling, or generate the locale first. For missing --target, missing targets are skipped with a warning while other valid targets continue; suggestions are shown only when an existing locale or catalog-backed code match is clear.

source_placeholder_leaves

Code: i18nprune.locale.source_placeholder_leaves
Severity: warning
When: the source locale file contains the configured missing placeholder value (for example __I18NPRUNE_MISSING__).
Who: validate, missing, sync, quality, review, and shared core placeholder checks.
What to do:

1. Run i18nprune missing --full to list every source placeholder path with its locale file and best-effort JSON line.
2. Manually review the listed source paths and replace each placeholder with the real source-language value.
3. Run i18nprune sync so non-source locale files align to the corrected source shape.
4. Run i18nprune generate --resume to refill target translations that still need translation work.

target_placeholder_leaves

Code: i18nprune.locale.target_placeholder_leaves
Severity: warning
When: a non-source locale file contains the configured missing placeholder value (for example __I18NPRUNE_MISSING__).
Who: missing --target, sync, quality, review, and shared core placeholder checks.
What to do:

1. Run i18nprune missing --target <locale> --full to list every placeholder path in that target locale with its file and best-effort JSON line.
2. Run i18nprune sync to align the target locale with the source locale shape.
3. Run i18nprune generate --resume to translate the placeholder paths.

placeholder_sentinel_leak

Code: i18nprune.locale.placeholder_sentinel_leak
Severity: warning
When: a non-source locale leaf still contains stale MT mask sentinels (__I18NPRUNE_* or spaced __ I18NPRUNE_0 __) instead of restored {{…}} interpolation tokens.
Who: validate, quality, review, and the shared sentinelLeak module ( sync / generate repair in v1.0.1).
What to do:

1. Run i18nprune validate (or quality / review) to list affected locales — read-only ops never write.
2. Quick structure fix: i18nprune sync --target <locale> — copies non-leak source strings over leaked paths (placeholders work; copy may stay in English until generate).
3. Proper localized fix: i18nprune generate --metadata --target <locale> — re-translates leaked paths with mask/restore.
4. After a partial generate, i18nprune generate --resume --target <locale> keeps leaked paths pending until repair succeeds.

--json: each issue includes localeCode, paths[], and suggestion.commands[] (sync + generate hints). See also placeholder_sentinel_mangled on the translate write path.
