New in Symfony 7.2: Translations Linter

Linters are static code analysis tools used to flag errors like syntactic and
stylistic issues. Symfony includes many linter commands to check YAML config files
(lint:yaml), container services (lint:container), Twig templates
(lint:twig) and even the syntax of XLIFF translation files (lint:xliff).

In Symfony 7.2 we’re adding a new linter to check the content of translations.
Unlike the lint:xliff command, this new lint:translations command checks
all your translations, no matter which of the supported translation formats
you use:

$ php bin/console lint:translations

# you can also lint only some of the supported locales
$ php bin/console lint:translations –locale=en –locale=tr

This command will be especially helpful when using the ICU MessageFormat syntax
in your translations. This syntax is powerful but sometimes tricky, so it’s common
to miss closing braces (}), forget about the other key when using plurals, etc.

$ php bin/console lint:translations
