This skill should be used when the user mentions "translation catalog", "i18n keys", "missing translations", "unused keys", "untranslated", "locale files", "message catalog", "RTL", "right to left", "logical properties", "bidi", or auditing/cleaning translation files and preparing a UI for right-to-left languages. It provides the methodology for keeping catalogs healthy and making layouts direction-agnostic.
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
# Catalog Hygiene
## Purpose
Provide a standardized, static methodology for keeping translation catalogs correct and complete, and for making a UI ready for right-to-left languages. A catalog rots the moment code and translations drift: keys used in code but missing from a locale render raw ids to users, keys left in the catalog after a feature is deleted are paid-for cruft, and values that were copy-pasted from English *look* translated but ship the wrong language. RTL readiness is the other half, a layout full of physical `left`/`right` CSS silently breaks in Arabic and Hebrew.
## Catalog Health Checks
Cross-reference the code's translation calls against every locale file and report:
| Check | Definition | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Missing key | used in code, absent in a locale | fallback text or a raw key shown to users |
| Unused key | in the catalog, referenced nowhere | dead weight; wasted translation spend |
| Untranslated value | target value byte-equal to the source | looks done, ships the source language |
| Placeholder drift | `{name}`/`{count}` set differs across locales | `undefined` in the string or a formatter throw |

How to install
mdr add sigistry/marketplace/catalog-hygiene@sha256:b432711c0d5e5e1fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.571bc2f, 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.
