Android Translations Check Gradle Plugin

This Gradle plugin checks Android project translation strings.

In Android project strings included in alternative resources (i.e. /src/main/res/values-pl/) must match default strings located in /src/main/res/values/. If the number of arguments or number of entries in string-array is not the same, your app will likely crash.

This plugin checks if all translation strings match original ones. It will check strings included in:

• <string name="...">...</>
• <plurals name="...">...</>
• <string-array name="...">...</>

How to use it 👣

Include (but don't apply) the plugin and specify the version in your root build.gradle.kts file:

plugins {
    id("com.doist.gradle.android-translations-check") version "<latest-version>" apply false
}

And include the plugin in all build.gradle.kts modules with strings:

plugins {
    id("com.doist.gradle.android-translations-check")
}

This plugin adds the checkAndroidTranslations Gradle task, so to check all translation strings, run:

./gradlew checkAndroidTranslations

Configuration ⚙️

The plugin runs without any configurations but in case you use any custom library for string formatting like Phrase you can customize arguments regex. To do this, include the following in your module build.gradle.kts file:

checkAndroidTranslationsConfig {
    argumentRegex.set("""(?:%(?:[1-9]\$)?[sd%])|(?:\{[a-z_]+})""")
}
