### lint-po

A simple gettext .po linter to check for mangled variable names in translations.

#### Features

* reads utf-8 encoded *.po files

* skips `msgid/msgstr` pairs where either value is unset

* compares original/translation pairs for common interpolation markers:

  * supports `{name}`, `{123}`, `<123>`, `123>`, `<123/>`, `%(name)s`

  * ensures both messages use the same set of variables - no renames, no removals, no additions

* supports Github Actions error reporting syntax (when `env.GITHUB_ACTIONS` is set)

* supports lingui plural syntax - `msgstr "{count, plural, one {依存関係} other {依存関係}}"` is the one case when the thing in {} needs to change between msgid and msgstr

#### Example usage

```sh

$ lint-po locale/*.po

Difference between msgid="Hello {name}" and msgstr="Bonjour {nom}":

  Missing from msgstr: {name}

  Unexpected in msgstr: {nom}

  at problem.po:2

```

#### TODO

* catch nesting errors (<0><1>0>1>), reordering is fine but nesting still needs to make sense

* ensure positional counts (3x %s vs 4x %s, etc.)

* build: autoincrement version for releases

* check headers, Language:  should match the filename
