LocaleWitness ICU Release Regression Fixtures

Source: this release’s synthetic input → 7 output files. Observed 2026-09-08. Coverage: one example within the supported profile.

LocaleWitness turns ICU message definitions into reproducible regression fixtures you can re-run between releases. It works with an approved en/fr subset of ICU syntax, treating your entries as messages rather than translations, and expands their plural, select, and other branches into concrete cases. The output is a set of branch fixtures tied to a supported runtime profile, so you can confirm that rendering behavior stays stable as messages change over time.

YOUR WORKSPACE

Turn your input into a checked artifact

Load the synthetic example to explore the format, or choose your own supported JSON file. Processing happens on this device. Your input is not uploaded. The first run downloads the processing engine.

Open JSON file Input template

Your input · JSON, up to 8 MiB

Load an input to begin. Each workflow also has its own smaller domain limits.

Keep your original source. Unsupported inputs return an explanation. These workflows implement the stated mathematical or file-format checks; they do not establish physical performance, language quality or real-world reliability.

HOW TO USE IT

A repeatable input-to-output workflow

Provide your ICU messages and locale data as JSON in the supported en/fr subset.

The tool enumerates plural and select branches and records the rendered result for each declared case.

You download the branch fixtures and can replay them against your build to detect regressions.

What you receive

Branch fixtures per message with declared inputs
Rendered case values for the supported runtime profile
A summary of covered branches and locales

Supported scope and limits

Approved en/fr ICU subset only; other locales or syntax are out of scope
Treats entries as messages, not as reviewed translations
No linguist review of wording or content
Output reflects the supported runtime profile, not every ICU runtime

Read the exact input profile and examples. Start with the supplied template; this release does not guess missing settings.

OPTIONAL OFFLINE BATCH KIT

LocaleWitness automation kit

$249 one time

Proposed one-time batch automation kit: a versioned ZIP with an offline CLI runner, the LocaleWitness engine module, input fixtures, a verifier, and acceptance tests for running message branch compilation without the browser. No recurring updates or support are promised. Checkout is unavailable at publication until a provider connection is established.

Browser processing and result downloads above are free. The proposed kit bundles the same core engine with an offline command-line runner, synthetic fixtures, source, checksums and acceptance tests for repeated jobs.

Checkout is unavailable. You can use the browser workflow now. The kit cannot be purchased on this page yet.

A future purchase delivers the named version as a ZIP. No subscription, future updates, hosted storage or hands-on review is included. Pricing is an introductory offer experiment.

The interest page accepts contact details. Do not send your source files.

Before you start

Does this translate my strings?

No. It compiles the messages you supply into branch fixtures; it does not translate or review wording.

Which locales are covered?

The approved en/fr subset of ICU syntax. Inputs outside that subset are not processed.
