A CLI help string is a Swift multi-line literal. The change helper only reads single-line literals, so it records an empty English source for such a key, writes that empty value into the catalog, and then rejects every translation of it as not matching the source. These three tests fail on this commit and pass on the fix that follows. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Decode a `"""` defaultValue the way the compiler does: content starts after the opening line, ends before the closing delimiter's line, and every line loses the closing delimiter's indentation. Skip multi-line literals whole when scanning for the end of the call, so parentheses and quotes inside help text cannot end it early. Without this, a new `cli.help.*` key landed in the catalog with an empty English value, and each later run overwrote it again, so its translations could never pass the strict validator.

A trailing backslash is how long prose fits in the source, and the compiler joins the line. Five shipped keys are written that way. The helper read the continuation as an unknown escape and dropped all five with an attention line that carries no line number, so nobody could find them. Also pins two behaviors the multi-line decoder already has and nothing verified: indentation comes from the closing delimiter rather than the first body line, and a literal with an odd number of quotation marks does not make the scanner read the rest of the file as one string.

…does Swift's line continuation is a backslash at the end of a line, and the compiler joins the two lines into one. The escape table had no entry for it, so every literal written that way raised and the key never reached the catalog. Indentation is stripped before escapes are read, which is the order the compiler uses, so the joined text matches what the binary prints. Across the repository this recovers 5 keys, all of them settings and pairing prose wrapped to fit the source, and drops the same 5 attention lines.

Swift Language Guide multiline string literal escaped triple quotation marks \""" valid syntax
💡 Result:
Yes. Inside a Swift multiline string literal, `\"""` is valid: it escapes the first quote so the three quotes are treated as string content, not as the closing delimiter. The resulting string contains `"""`. The Swift Language Guide says to escape at least one quote when including three consecutive quotes in a multiline string. ([docs.swift.org](https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/LanguageGuide/StringsAndCharacters.html?utm_source=openai))

Skip escaped quotes when scanning Swift multiline delimiters.
Swift multiline literals can contain \""". swift_call_suffix treats that sequence as the closing delimiter, then can return an empty suffix at the actual closing delimiter. parse_swift_messages consequently skips the localization key. MULTILINE has the same delimiter bug for defaultValue and comment.
Update both scans to recognize only an unescaped """, and add a regression test that asserts parse_swift_messages returns the complete key and source.

A CLI help string is written as a Swift multi-line literal.

The helper then wrote that empty value intoResources/Localizable.xcstringsand, on every later run, overwrote whatever English text a human had put there. With an empty source, the strict validator rejected all nine translations of the key withline breaks do not match source, so a new help key could not be localized at all.This teaches the helper to decode a
"""default the way the compiler does: content starts after the opening line, ends before the closing delimiter's line, and every line loses the closing delimiter's indentation.
