// "greeting" -> "Oi"       (from pt-BR, most specific)
// "farewell" -> "Adeus"    (from pt, next in chain)

// Without LocaleChain, pt-BR users would see English "Goodbye"
// because pt-BR has no "farewell" key.

# Translate your shared string files with i18n Agent
# Works with JSON, XML (moko-resources), or any i18n format

# From your IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code):
> Translate commonMain/resources/MR/base/strings.xml to Japanese, German, and Spanish

✓ MR/ja/strings.xml created (1.2s)
✓ MR/de/strings.xml created (1.1s)
✓ MR/es/strings.xml created (1.3s)

# Or use the CLI in CI/CD:
npx i18n-agent translate resources/base/strings.xml --lang ja,de,es
