Developer uses Claude Code for React internationalization

A developer utilized Anthropic's Claude Code to assist in the internationalization of a large React codebase, tackling over 3,400 hardcoded strings. Traditional methods like regular expressions proved insufficient, prompting a hybrid approach. The solution involved a three-pass pipeline: an initial deterministic extraction using an abstract syntax tree (AST) to gather potential strings, followed by Claude Code for nuanced judgment calls and key naming, and finally, an AST-based codemod for rewriting the code.

    How I Extracted 3,400 Hardcoded Strings for i18n With Claude Code

    <h2> TL;DR </h2> <p>I had a React app with roughly 3,400 hardcoded English strings scattered across 600+ components, and a mandate to ship a second language. Regex codemods handled maybe 60% of it and quietly mangled the rest, so I split the job: a deterministic AST codemod for t…
