It validates localization files against a reference (typically English) to detect missing strings, obsolete entries, and runtime errors without false positives, while also warning on potential issues. The package includes two main tools: compare-locales for validating locales across a project, and moz-l10n-lint for checking local work and detecting string conflicts.\n\nThe tool is configured via an l10n.toml project file and works with Mozilla's localization structure. It can merge localizations by padding them with missing English strings and replacing error-prone entities with English fallbacks, making it essential for maintaining consistency across multiple language variants in large projects.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you maintain Mozilla localizations or similar multi-language projects. The tool is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. The copyleft license is standard for Mozilla tooling; verify it aligns with your project's licensing model before use."},"id":"compare-locales","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/compare-locales","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/compare-locales.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/compare-locales/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"compare-locales","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Lint Mozilla localizations"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":81727,"position":14206,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"9.0.5"}
