Those tools can be used to keep in sync our locale in the app between different language and with android translations

tools/unusedLocalizedString.py is iterating over all root keys in _locales/en/message.json and try to find them on the code with a regex. If it does not find it, it will print a line with False. Some key exceptions are hardcoded to not report false negative

So just run: tools/unusedLocalizedString.py |grep False and double check by searching in the app if you can effectively remove those keys.

This step removes every key in all locales not found in the locale EN. So if for example, you have a key in it which is not present in en, it will be removed and the it file will be written without it.

A summary for each language file is printed on the screen to let you know if anything was changed during the process

python3 tools/compareLocalizedStrings.py

This step matches translations from android to desktop. It needs to be run for each locale you want to update.

python3 tools/mapAndroidTranslationsToDesktop.py fr <path_to_android_root_project>

Under the hood, it uses a item from the EN desktop locale called androidKey to find the matching translation for each locale.

Note that if a desktop key does not have an androidKey set, it will just be skipped The goal is to have an androidKey for each item, if possible. But for now apps are too different for that to make sense.
