| title: Internationalization made easier with static analysis | |

| [i18n-tasks][i18n-tasks] finds and manages missing and unused translations in your application. | |
| The default approach to locale data management with gems such as [i18n][i18n-gem] is flawed. | |
| If you use a key that does not exist, this will only blow up at runtime. Keys left over from removed code accumulate | |
| in the resource files and introduce unnecessary overhead on the translators. Translation files can quickly turn to disarray. | |
| i18n-tasks improves this by using static analysis. It scans calls such as `I18n.t('some.key')` and provides reports on key usage, missing, and unused keys. | |
| It can also can pre-fill missing keys, including from Google Translate, and it can remove unused keys as well. | |
| i18n-tasks can be used with any project using [i18n][i18n-gem] (default in Rails). | |
