Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] docs(l10n): AI agent instructions and workflow improvements
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 23:33:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1772551123.git.worldhello.net@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CANYiYbFM9+4xGmeBRNCC6VyW9EzjEFxEWHDNnOVhJNM73Ga_FA@mail.gmail.com>
## Introduction
This series introduces AI agent instructions for Git localization (l10n) workflows
to help localization contributors quickly complete drafts and use AI to check
translation quality. The changes focus on:
1. Separating agent-specific documentation into po/AGENTS.md for targeted
optimization of AI-assisted workflows
2. Providing step-by-step instructions for update-pot, update-po, translation,
and review tasks
3. Simplifying location filtering for PO file commits via .gitattributes
AI-assisted translation is optional; many successful l10n teams work well without
it. When used, AI output serves as reference only—human contributors must review
and approve before submission.
## Performance summary
| Task | Before | After | Improvement |
|-------------|---------------|--------------|---------------------------------|
| update-pot | 17 turns, 34s | 3 turns, 8s | -82% turns, -76% time |
| update-po | 22 turns, 38s | 4 turns, 9s | -82% turns, -76% time |
| translate | 86 turns | 56 turns | -35% turns (git-po-helper flow) |
| review | N/A | 96/100 score | New workflow documented |
These improvements reduce API costs and make agent workflows more efficient while
maintaining human oversight of translation quality.
## Testing
All changes have been evaluated with the qwen model via git-po-helper agent-test
and agent-run. The po/AGENTS.md instructions are designed to work with coding
tools that support file references (e.g., "Translate po/zh_CN.po by referring to
@po/AGENTS.md").
## Changes
Jiang Xin (5):
l10n: add .gitattributes to simplify location filtering
docs(l10n): add AGENTS.md with optimized update-pot instructions
docs(l10n): add AI agent instructions for updating po/XX.po files
docs(l10n): add AI agent instructions for translating PO files
docs(l10n): add AI agent instructions to review translations
