+"""Validate Android translation resources against the base strings.xml.
+
+Community translations live in ``app/src/main/res/values-<locale>/strings.xml``
+and are produced via Weblate. This guard keeps incoming translation PRs honest:
+
+  * every translation file must be well-formed XML;
+  * a translation must not define keys absent from the base — those are stale
+    keys left behind after a rename/removal upstream;
+  * a translation must not translate strings marked ``translatable="false"`` in
+    the base (URLs, IDs and the like).
+
+Missing keys are *allowed* and only reported as coverage: a missing string
+falls back to the English base at runtime, so partial translations are fine
+(this mirrors the lint config, which downgrades ``MissingTranslation``).
+
+Exits non-zero if any error is found. Errors are emitted as Gitea/GitHub
+Actions ``::error`` annotations so they surface inline on the PR.
