Audit and fix internationalisation in web or mobile apps. Use when "audit i18n", "fix translations", "add locale", "hardcoded strings", "localisation", "translation quality", or "the Japanese feels like Google Translate".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# audit-i18n — Natural, Human-Sounding Translations

**Degree of freedom: MIXED** — Quality judgment and rewrite `[HIGH freedom]`;
Phase 2 key-diff and Phase 4 locale walk `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`.

> **Audit-and-fix exception.** Find bad copy, then fix it. Not present-then-stop.
>
> Fix the strings the audit named — extract, rewrite, add the missing key —
> with surgical edits to the source line and the locale entry; do not
> reformat or re-key whole translation files, and copy you did not audit
> stays as it is. Unrelated bugs met on the way go in the report as
> follow-ups. Add tests only where the repo already tests i18n; the Phase 2
> key-diff scripts stay out of the commit.

**Translations that read like machine output erode user trust** — especially in
the user's own language. Find every unnatural, jargon-heavy, or technically
worded string and rewrite it to sound like a real person in that locale.

> **The goal**: every string should sound like it was written by a native speaker
> who understands the user, not translated from English by a developer.

## Core principles for good copy

These apply to every string in every locale:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kensaurus/cursor-kenji/audit-i18n@sha256:3033ebdec8d7c91f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.68c095e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
