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

  l10n: add .gitattributes to simplify location filtering
