Find Help Center Translation Gaps
find_translation_gapsAudit the Help Center tree for a target locale. It reports every category and section with no translation or an unpublished draft.
Instructions
Audit the Help Center tree for a target locale and report every category and section that has no translation, or one that is still an unpublished draft. Use it before or after translating articles: an article published in a second locale is unreachable while its parent section only exists in the source locale. Listing sections in that locale cannot answer this — a node with no translation is simply absent, without saying why, and a node whose translation is an unpublished draft may still be listed under its draft name — so this audit reads the draft flag on each node instead of trusting that listing. Costs two listings and covers up to 100 categories and 100 sections; past that only the first page of each level is audited, and the report says so — pass category_id to narrow it. Fix what it reports with set_section_translation / set_category_translation.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| locale | Yes | Locale to audit, e.g. "fr" or "de" — usually a non-default active locale of the Help Center (zendesk-hc://topology lists them). A locale that is not active is reported as a warning, since every node would then look untranslated. | |
| category_id | No | Restrict the audit to this category and the sections it contains (id from list_categories). Omit to sweep the whole tree, which costs two listings and covers up to 100 categories and 100 sections. |
