Add automation to detect missing locale translations from dependent packages

[Copilot]

Locale Detection Automation - Complete ✅

Successfully implemented automation to detect missing locale files in react-phone-hooks by comparing against locales available in dependent packages (antd and MUI).

Files Added

1. scripts/check-locales/__main__.py

   • Python script that detects missing locales
   • Fetches antd locales directly from upstream GitHub repository: https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/tree/master/components/locale
   • Fetches MUI locales directly from upstream GitHub repository: https://github.com/mui/material-ui/tree/master/packages/mui-material/src/locale
   • Filters out non-locale files (like context.ts, useLocale.ts) using regex pattern
   • Compares to identify missing locales
   • Generates concise GitHub issue body listing missing locales with their source packages
   • Clean implementation without comments, docstrings, or verbose output
   • Uses curl subprocess to fetch directory listings from GitHub API

2. .github/workflows/locales.yml

   • Runs on push and pull requests to master branch (same triggers as tests.yml)
   • Creates/updates issues with missing-locales, translation, enhancement labels
   • Prevents duplicate issues by checking existing open issues
   • Permissions scoped to contents: read, issues: write
   • Follows the same coding style as update.yml workflow
   • Simplified workflow requiring only Python (no Node.js or npm dependencies needed)
   • Fixed syntax error by passing issue body via environment variable instead of template literal

Testing & Validation

✅ Script execution: Compiles successfully
✅ Python syntax: No errors
✅ Locale filtering: Only validates proper locale codes (e.g., enUS, zhCN, kuLatn)
✅ Non-locale filtering: Excludes utility files like context, useLocale
✅ Workflow syntax: Fixed backtick escaping issue in GitHub Actions script
✅ Action versions: Consistent with existing workflows
✅ Permissions: Properly scoped for security

Implementation Details

Locale name pattern: ^[a-z]{2,3}[A-Z][A-Za-z]{1,3}$

• Matches: enUS, zhCN, arEG, kuLatn, beBY, psAF, mrIN
• Excludes: context, useLocale, index

Antd locales: Fetched from GitHub API, file names like en_US.ts converted to enUS
MUI locales: Fetched from GitHub API, file names like enUS.ts used directly
Network: Uses curl subprocess to fetch from GitHub API with proper User-Agent headers

This implementation follows the same pattern as existing workflows and fetches data directly from upstream sources.

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Add automation to detect missing locales and generate translation issues</issue_title>
<issue_description>The react-phone-hooks relies on manually maintained locale files, and new languages added to antd-phone-input or mui-phone-input can be missing (e.g., enUS). So, create a script that:

1. Checks all language keys used by dependent packages.
2. Compares them against existing locale files in react-phone-hooks.
3. Automatically opens a GitHub issue, mentioning all missing locales, requesting translation entries.

This should work similarly to the existing script that keeps phone validation patterns up-to-date.</issue_description>

@copilot - Rename the check-missing-locales.yml to locales.yml and use the same coding style as the .github/workflows/update.yml does.

• Move scripts/check-missing-locales/__main__.py to scripts/check-locales/__main__.py
• Remove all comments, docstrings, emojis, and prints from the added code.
• The mui_locales shouldn't be a static list - that is the idea of the script to fetch the upstream list of supported languages to compare.
• Remove the newly created README.

Done in commit 56b4971. Changes made:

• Renamed check-missing-locales.yml to locales.yml matching update.yml style
• Moved scripts/check-missing-locales/ to scripts/check-locales/
• Removed all comments, docstrings, emojis, and prints
• Made mui_locales dynamic - now fetched from @mui/material/locale using Node.js subprocess
• Removed the README file

@copilot A few more adjustments:

• Run the new workflow with the same triggers as the tests.yml - without a cron schedule.
• Use a short report in the following format:

Update the translations, adding the following language keys:

 - `enUS` (`antd`, `mui`)
 - `kuIQ` (`antd`)

Done in commit 0ab272f. Changes made:

• Changed workflow triggers to match tests.yml (push/pull_request on master, removed cron schedule)
• Updated report format to the requested short format showing locale keys with their source packages

@copilot You shouldn't rely on https://github.com/typesnippet/react-phone-hooks/blob/master/development/src/ant-phone/locale.ts, instead, you should fetch the list from https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/tree/master/components/locale (file names from this directory). In the same way, you should fetch the list of MUI-supported languages from https://github.com/mui/material-ui/tree/master/packages/mui-material/src/locale directory.

Done in commit 2c740ea. Changes made:

• Now fetches antd locales from https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/tree/master/components/locale
• Now fetches MUI locales from https://github.com/mui/material-ui/tree/master/packages/mui-material/src/locale
• Removed dependency on local development files
• Simplified workflow by removing Node.js setup and npm install steps

• Add a filter that ignores non-language keys such as context and useLocale.
• Rename the flow from "Update Locales" to "locales".
