Closes #3

What

  • pushTranslations carries every held catalogue to the platform with its fuzzy flags, trimmed to the template so a stale file revives nothing.
  • A supported language the platform does not list is added and filled with its full fuzzy batch in the same push.
  • Uploads pace themselves and retry once on the platform's rate refusal.
  • The pull merge lets a reviewed answer settle a fuzzy one and never the reverse, restored answers keep their flag, and clearing a fuzzy flag alone now writes home.
  • unreviewed joins the build gates, naming the answers still carrying the fuzzy flag.

Why

Translations written in the repository never reached the platform, so reviewers met empty boxes and translated from scratch, and their blind answers would have overwritten shipped wording on the next pull. The workflow is fuzzy first: machines translate, humans only review.

Testing

  1. Run pnpm install and pnpm cover, all four coverage thresholds hold at 100 percent.
  2. For a live check, run a small script calling pushTranslations with the real token against the project, then open the platform's Fuzzy filter and confirm the pushed answers appear there flagged.
  3. Pull afterwards with syncTranslations and confirm nothing local moved, since nothing was reviewed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for pushing translations and creating missing platform languages.
    • Added reporting for pushed, skipped, and newly added languages.
    • Added detection of non-empty translations awaiting review.
    • Added rate-limit retry handling and configurable upload pacing.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Preserved fuzzy-review status when merging translations.
    • Clearing a fuzzy flag now records approval even when text is unchanged.
    • Improved handling of locale codes and unsupported catalogues.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds fuzzy-aware catalogue merging and review detection. It adds paced, retrying platform uploads and language creation. It adds pushTranslations to upload translations, bootstrap supported languages, and report locale outcomes.

Changes

Translation synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fuzzy catalogue handling
src/merge.ts, src/gates.ts, src/build.ts, test/build.test.ts, test/sync.test.ts
Fuzzy flags now participate in merge, restoration, catalogue comparison, compilation, and unreviewed-entry detection. Tests cover fuzzy replacement, preservation, removal, and fuzzy-only changes.
Platform upload and rate-limit handling
src/platform.ts, test/sync.test.ts
Uploads use shared multipart handling with configurable pacing. Rate-limit response code 4048 receives one delayed retry. The platform exposes addLanguage and uploadTranslations.
Translation push workflow
src/sync.ts, test/sync.test.ts
pushTranslations uploads terms and translations, skips unsupported or missing catalogues, adds absent supported languages, and reports pushed, skipped, and added locales.
Release documentation
CHANGELOG.md
The changelog records the new synchronization, fuzzy-state, review, retry, and language operations.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 769a9

The upload path can leave existing platform translations unchanged because it does not request overwrite, so local translation updates may not reach the platform as intended. This concrete synchronization issue should be fixed before merge.

- `addLanguage` on the platform seam, and the push adds and fills a supported

Scope the pushTranslations claim to supported catalogues.

Catalogues accepts arbitrary locale keys, and pushTranslations uploads only catalogues for locales in supported. Change “every held catalogue” to “every held catalogue for a supported language”.

🌐 Web query:

POEditor API terms_translations overwrite parameter import translations existing translations

💡 Result:

When using the POEditor API, specifically the projects/upload endpoint, the overwrite parameter is used to control whether existing translations are replaced during an import [1][2]. To overwrite existing translations when performing an import involving translations (such as when setting the updating parameter to terms_translations or translations), you must set the overwrite parameter to 1 [1][3]. Key details regarding this parameter: - Parameter name: overwrite [1] - Allowed values: 0 (default, does not overwrite) or 1 (overwrites existing translations) [1][2] - Context: This parameter is available when using the projects/upload method [1][2]. - Requirement: When setting updating to terms_translations or translations, the language parameter is also required (except for.xcstrings files, where it can be left empty to import all languages) [1]. If you do not set overwrite to 1, the import process will typically add new translations where none exist but will not modify translations that are already present in the project [2][4].

Set overwrite to 1 for translation uploads.

pushTranslations carries every held catalogue to POEditor, but uploadTranslations omits overwrite. POEditor defaults it to 0, so existing translations remain unchanged and local updates do not reach the platform. Add form.set('overwrite', '1') and assert it in the upload test.

Extract the shared locale-matching preamble.

pushTranslations lines 94-100 and syncTranslations lines 152-158 repeat the same three steps: upload the template, iterate platform.languages(), and resolve each name through localeFor. The skip text `${named}, which the site does not answer in` is duplicated verbatim in both functions. A later change to that wording or to the matching rule must be applied twice.

Extract a helper that yields the matched pairs and collects the unmatched names.

/**
 * Returns each platform language paired with the locale it answers, and the ones passed over.
 * `@param` platform - The translation platform to read.
 * `@param` supported - The languages the site answers in.
