# Test missing translations

```bash
npx intlayer content test
```

## Aliases:

- `npx intlayer test`

This command analyses your content declaration files to identify missing translations across all configured locales. It provides a comprehensive report showing which translation keys are missing for which locales, helping you maintain consistency across your multilingual content.

## Example output:

```bash
pnpm intlayer content test
Missing translations:
 - home-page                      - tr         - src/components/HomePage/homePage.content.ts
 - server-component               - es, tr     - src/components/ServerComponent/serverComponent.content.ts
 - client-component               - pl, tr     - src/components/ClientComponent/clientComponent.content.ts
Locales: en, ru, ja, fr, ko, zh, es, de, ar, it, en-GB, pt, hi, tr, pl
Required locales: en
Missing locales: pl, tr, es
Missing required locales: -
Total missing locales: 3
Total missing required locales: 0
```

## Arguments:

**Configuration options:**

- **`--env`**: Specify the environment (e.g., `development`, `production`).
- **`--env-file [envFile]`**: Provide a custom environment file to load variables from.
- **`--base-dir`**: Specify the base directory for the project.

  > Example: `npx intlayer content test --base-dir ./src --env-file .env.production.local`

- **`--no-cache`**: Disable the cache.

  > Example: `npx intlayer build --no-cache`

**Preparation options:**

- **`--build`**: Build the dictionaries before pushing to ensure the content is up to date. True will force the build, false will skip the build, undefined will allow using the cache of the build.

**Log options:**

- **`--verbose`**: Enable verbose logging for debugging. (default to true when using CLI)

  > Example: `npx intlayer content test --verbose`

## Example:

```bash
npx intlayer content test --verbose
```

The output helps you quickly identify which translations need to be completed to ensure your application works correctly across all configured locales.
