Forthwith is a cross-platform localization CLI that finds issues before users do. Run a free, local check—no account, upload, or configuration—to catch missing keys, malformed files, placeholder mismatches, plural gaps, duplicates, and untranslated values. When you’re ready, Forthwith translates only new or changed strings, validates framework-specific structure, and writes reviewable diffs for iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, React, Phoenix, and go-i18n.
Today I strategically shortened the translation prompts I use in three ways:
- Only send relevant examples to help the model (I was sending all of the examples in all cases)
- Remove duplicate instructions (including some output instructions that were already covered by previous instructions - Send a shorter retry prompt if the model makes mistakes with the initial prompt, instead of sending the entire prompt + the retry prompt
I did this, because I want Forthwith users to get the best bang for their buck, and prompt words count towards the total billable words. This will enable you to get more translations with the same subscription. Enjoy!
Forthwith now supports Phoenix apps using Cldr.Gettext.Plural 🎉
Forthwith automatically detects CLDR-backed Gettext configuration and correctly handles each locale’s plural
categories and .po slot mapping—including Russian’s one, few, many, and other forms.
Safer, more accurate Phoenix localization with no extra configuration required.
I just posted a new article on the Forthwith blog. It's super nerdy, but I think it will be a very interesting read for anyone who does Elixir/Phoenix development, or who uses CLDR. It's called "Why CLDR Plural Rules and Gettext Don’t Agree (and Why It Matters for AI Localization)" and you can find it here: https://forthwith.dev/blog/cldr-plural-rules-vs-gettext
