Fix {{TARGET_LANGUAGE}} Laravel Translations — {{REPOSITORY}}

Scan all {{TARGET_LANGUAGE}} Laravel translation files for values still in the source language, translate them, fix errors and typos, commit the changes, and open a PR.

Fixed context

• Repository: {{REPOSITORY}}
• Translation files: {{TRANSLATION_FILES_INLINE}} — when not specified, default to Laravel's conventional locations: lang/{{TARGET_LOCALE}}/**/*.php and lang/{{TARGET_LOCALE}}.json (older projects: resources/lang/...)
• PR title format: {{PR_TITLE_PREFIX}}: <short description>

Workflow

Execute these phases in order.

Phase 1 — Scan for untranslated values

Read every file matching {{TRANSLATION_FILES_SCAN}} — when that is not supplied, scan lang/{{TARGET_LOCALE}}/**/*.php and lang/{{TARGET_LOCALE}}.json (fall back to resources/lang/... on older Laravel versions). For each file, identify values that are still in the source language. A value needs translation if it:

• Uses source-language words as the primary language (e.g. "Save", "Cancel", "Overview")
• Contains a full source-language sentence or phrase
• Is a mix of {{TARGET_LANGUAGE}} and the source language
• Contains a typo that is clearly not {{TARGET_LANGUAGE}}

Do not flag:

• Keys (array keys are in the source language by convention). In JSON catalogues the key is the source string — translate the value, leave the key byte-for-byte untouched.
• Technical/universal strings like email addresses, URLs, currency symbols
• Values that are intentionally the same in both languages (e.g. 'Logo', 'URL')
• Placeholder variables like :count, :name

Phase 2 — Translate and fix

For each identified value, produce the correct {{TARGET_LANGUAGE}} translation. Apply these rules:

• Translate naturally — not word-for-word. Use the tone of the surrounding context.
• {{FORMALITY_NOTE}}
• Plural forms using Laravel's | syntax must be preserved: '{\1'}in :count day|[2,*]in :count days' → translate each segment, keep the | syntax intact.
• Never rename or translate :placeholder tokens (:count, :name, :Name, :NAME) — the casing carries Laravel's capitalisation behaviour, so copy them through verbatim.
• Leave Blade and HTML fragments inside a value alone ({{ $var }}, @lang(...), <a href="...">) — translate only the surrounding prose.
• Fix typos
• Fix wrong translations
• Fix mixed-language values
