i18n-janitor

A CLI tool for identifying and removing unused localization tokens in browser extensions that use the Chrome i18n localization file format. Originally created to help maintain the Ghostery browser extension.

Note: this simple tool does literal string comparison to identify unused tokens and will not work as expected if you dynamically generate/assemble i18n token names in your code. Treat the tool's findings as a starting point and confirm/edit them by hand before running the purge operation.

1. Install with yarn global add i18n-janitor
