Plenty of strings are legitimately identical in the target language - "Vsync", "Status", "Ad Hoc multiplayer" - but the only test we had for "is this translated" is "does it differ from English", so those got sent to the AI again on every single run of finish-language-with-ai, costing tokens and giving it another chance to translate something that shouldn't be. They now get a "# same as English" comment and are skipped. finish-language-with-ai writes it when the AI hands the English string back unchanged (which the validation added earlier was throwing away as an error), and import-single writes it when a language's line matches the en_US one. Deleting the comment puts the key back in play. Also stop comparing values with their comments still attached while working out what's untranslated, which was leaking "# AI translated" into the context block of the prompt.

Language ini file processor tool
To install Rust and cargo, go here.
To run, with rust installed, change to this Tools/langtool directory, then:
cargo run
(Or just move the binary out of target/ and run it directly).
To see command line usage, type:
cargo run -- --help
Validating
cargo run -- validate
Checks every translated string in every language file against the English one it came from:
placeholders (%1, %d, ...) must survive translation, no line breaks or stray quotes, nothing
empty. Exits with a non-zero code if it finds anything, so it can be used as a check in a script.
The same checks run on anything the AI produces, before it gets written to a file.
AI translation
Some commands (add-new-key-ai, add-new-key-value-ai, finish-language-with-ai) use an LLM to
generate translations. Two providers are supported, pick one by setting its API key in the
environment:
- Claude (Anthropic):
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY - OpenAI:
OPENAI_API_KEY
If both are set, Claude is used unless you say otherwise with --provider openai. To pick a
specific model, use --model, for example:
cargo run -- --model claude-sonnet-5 finish-language-with-ai sv_SE
cargo run -- --model gpt-4o finish-language-with-ai sv_SE
The provider is inferred from the model name, so --provider is only needed to disambiguate.
Strings that are deliberately the same as the English one (terms like "Vsync") are marked with a
# same as English comment. finish-language-with-ai skips those instead of paying to have them
"translated" again on every run, and writes the comment itself when the AI hands the English string
back unchanged. Delete the comment if you disagree with it and it'll be picked up again next time.
To autoformat the code, use:
cargo fmt
or set up your IDE to do that (it's already pre-set-up for VS Code, if you open the langtool folder directly).
