Description

I found that many language .po files had a lot of blank spaces, specifically "msgstr """. AI is quite reliable for this kind of simple translation work, so we used AI to complete the .po files.

我发现很多语言的.po文件有大量的空白,也就是"msgstr """。AI对于这种简单的翻译工作来说还是非常可靠的,我们完全用AI把这.po文件补全。

Research direction

Start by locating the language .po files and reviewing the entries with blank msgstr values. Clarify which files and languages are in scope, how AI-generated translations should be reviewed, and what validation is required. Done means the agreed entries are translated and the resulting localization files pass the project's checks.
