Sync iOS Localization Gaps to Google Sheets & GitHub PRs

This n8n workflow automates the detection of localization gaps in iOS apps by scanning .strings files from Base.lproj (or en.lproj) against target languages like fr.lproj. Triggered by GitHub webhooks on push or pull requests, it clones the repo, parses keys using glob patterns, compares them to find missing entries, and generates structured reports in a dedicated Google Sheets tab per language. This provides iOS teams and localization managers with instant visibility into translation deficits.

Benefits include rapid feedback loops to avoid production issues, centralized assignment of translation tasks via shared sheets, and optional automation of GitHub PRs that insert safe placeholders (e.g., "TODO_TRANSLATE") to keep builds succeeding. It supports DRY_RUN mode for testing and customizable configs like branch templates and SHEET_ID.

Ideal for mobile development teams in apps requiring multi-language support, such as travel & hospitality platforms with dynamic pricing displays. Setup involves importing the JSON, configuring credentials for GitHub and Google Sheets, and adding a webhook to your iOS repo—saving hours of manual auditing per release cycle.
