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.
