inconsistent-args

Why this is bad

Placeholders are the contract between your code and a message. A translation that drops one may needlessly generalize the sentence, and one that invents a placeholder will throw at runtime.

Examples

Given the source message "Delete {item}".

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

{
  "delete": "Supprimer cet élément"
}

(absent argument)

{
  "delete": "Supprimer {objet}"
}

(translated argument)

{
  "delete": "Supprimer l'{item}"
}

(apostrophe escapes argument)

Examples of correct code for this rule:

{
  "delete": "Supprimer l''{item}"
}

(apostrophe escaped too)

How to fix it

Re-translate the message for the flagged locale with eloqnt translate. Passing --id replaces the existing translation, and the post-translation checks reject any attempt whose arguments differ from the source.

npx eloqnt translate --id delete --locale fr

To fix it manually, use every argument exactly as the source spells it.
