Expose clipping with expanded test strings
Will translated text fit? Accent and expand resource strings while preserving keys and recognized placeholders.

Example Synthetic checkout strings combine readable text, a named placeholder and an ICU plural expression.
3 strings pseudo-localized.
Pseudo-localization is a layout aid, not a translation. Entire ICU blocks stay unchanged. Inline XML markup is refused to prevent tag loss.
The resource file stays in your browser. Strings are accented and padded here and never uploaded.

Findings
Info Verify in the running application
Accent substitution and padding expose some layout issues. This does not simulate translation quality, bidirectional layout or every script.
Pass 3 strings pseudo-localized
Resource keys and ARB metadata are preserved. Placeholder blocks, including complete ICU expressions, are left unchanged.

What this result means
Written for the example.
Ask for a review of the findings and a test that verifies the proposed fix. Input values are not included automatically.
Synthetic checkout strings combine readable text, a named placeholder and an ICU plural expression.
Synthetic checkout strings combine readable text, a named placeholder and an ICU plural expression.
Check representative input and one deliberate failure. Confirm the result in the application that consumes it.
Read the findings before changing the input. Break it lets you inspect a failure, and Heal it restores the previous input.
Pseudo-localization is a layout aid, not a translation. Entire ICU blocks stay unchanged. Inline XML markup is refused to prevent tag loss.
How it works
Pseudo-Localizer reads resource file locally and presents findings with the evidence behind them. Synthetic checkout strings combine readable text, a named placeholder and an ICU plural expression. The full method, every rule and worked examples are on docs.tamperbox.dev.
Limits and interpretation
Pseudo-localization is a layout aid, not a translation. Entire ICU blocks stay unchanged. Inline XML markup is refused to prevent tag loss. Inputs are limited to 1,000,000 characters per field. Nothing is fetched from addresses embedded in input. Explicit copies and downloads are under your control.
Frequently asked questions
Is my input uploaded?
No. Parsing and output generation run in your browser. Source values are not sent to a server.
What does the opening example demonstrate?
Synthetic checkout strings combine readable text, a named placeholder and an ICU plural expression. It is synthetic data. Replace it with your own input to inspect a different case.
Does a passing result prove my application works?
No. Pseudo-localization is a layout aid, not a translation. Entire ICU blocks stay unchanged. Inline XML markup is refused to prevent tag loss. Verify the result in your test environment before relying on it.
