Add check if commands of translated pages are different

[marchersimon]

Additionally to checking if translated pages have a different number of examples, it would be awesome to show if the examples itself are outdated. This could be done by extracting all commands (basically lines starting and ending with ` and removing all {{...}} from them. The output of this operation should look the exact same on every translated page of a command.

If a page has a different number of examples, that could be indecated with a ⚠ with red background and if the examples differ, with a ⚠ with yellow/orange background.

Edit: Actually replacing {{...}} with a default like {{argument}} instead of removing it would be better because then command wouldn't be the same as command {{...}}

Also, what about translated variables? It might always be a false positive, because, for example, echo 'Hello world!' will always be different from echo '¡Hola mundo!'.

We could also remove the contents of '...' and "...".

So in summary

• we replace the content of {{...}} with generic content like {{argument}}
• we replace the content of '...' and "..." with generic content like 'argument' and "argument"
• then we compare those abstract commands of the base page with each translated page

Should we mark a page outdated if the abstract commands are the same as the one on the base page but aren't in the same order?

I think instead of {{argument}} and 'argument' we could use {{}} and ''.

Should we mark a page outdated if the abstract commands are the same as the one on the base page but aren't in the same order?

Probably.

Is this still something someone is working on? The number of examples doesn't say that much about being outdated, the contents of the commands do

Hi, the issues is currently not being worked on but feel free to create a pull request to implement a better soluton. I don't have resources myself to create a soluton right now, maybe I can find time next year.

In another tldr-repo, we achieved this (in Bash).

Okay that's awesome. I'll put the task for reimplementing on my ToDo list but it may take one or two months until I find some time.

If I had experience with Go, I'd probably would've worked on it, but I guess the Bash-example is a good start. In fact it is just removing all text in the commands that can be translated ({{...}}, <...>, (...), "...", and '...') and create one large string of all commands and compare those strings with each other (English with the one from the translated page).

If you need any help, please let me know
