Automate your i18n workflow and ensure that your i18n files are always up to date with the latest changes in your source code.

• When a pull request is opened or updated, the action will run and check for new i18n issues.
• If issues are found, the action creates a comment on the pull request with an issues report including links to the Fink localization editor to resolve the issues.
• After the issues are resolved, the action will automatically update the pull request comment to reflect the changes.
• If no issues are found, the action will simply not create any comments.

• Automated i18n linting for pull requests
• Detection of new broken inlang projects
• Comment creation with issue report
• Link creation to fix issues directly in Fink localization editor

Add the following workflow file to the main branch of your repository in this path .github/workflows/ninja_i18n.yml

name: Ninja i18n action

on: pull_request_target

# explicitly configure permissions, in case your GITHUB_TOKEN workflow permissions are set to read-only in repository settings
permissions:
  pull-requests: write # Necessary to comment on PRs
  issues: read         # Necessary to read issue comments
  contents: read       # Necessary to access the repo content

jobs:
  ninja-i18n:
    name: Ninja i18n - GitHub Lint Action
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Run Ninja i18n
        # @main ensures that the latest version of the action is used
        uses: opral/ninja-i18n-action@main
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Note: Commit the workflow file to the main branch of your repository before testing.

Create a pull request with changes to your i18n files and see if the action runs and creates a comment with the issues report:

1. Create a new test-ninja branch in your repository
2. Open the test-ninja branch in Fink localization editor and delete a translation for testing purposes
3. Commit and push the change
4. Create a pull request from the test-ninja branch to main
5. Check if the action runs and creates a comment with the issues report
