Not angular specific - general guidance needed

I have a 60k line json that holds key:value for localization of a huge website example:
{
"message": "讯息"
}
{
"message": "讯息"
}
and there's a file for each language. I created a c# script that scans each ts & html file in my project if on ts there's a regex that matches for .translate("string"), that string key is kept and if in html the key is used next to a pipe, that key is also kept all other unused keys will be deleted but since I am using regex there are so many edge cases that don't work, specially since there could be a lot of differences when it comes to stylers, whitespaces...etc Any idea how to do something like this in the context of vscode or whatever context: scan all the ts files and whenever there's a ts file that injects translationService & uses the translate() method, take the passed key and log it somewhere or get all references to a method, and see what value is passed to it. also scan all the html files and whenever there's usage of my translation pipe, check the passed value and log it somewhere

Just some ideas: The easiest approach would probably be a convention, eg. suffixing the translations with tl_ or something Alternatively, the TS compiler or eslint api might be an interesting approach? But it feels overkill This sounds like a convention based solution is quick to implement without a lot of overhead

@Sossenbinder but how would I suffix all the keys throughout the project if I can't find them in the first place? 😄 Also I don't wanna do it manually, file is huge and each key is used multiple times throughout the project

You want eslint to scan the syntax trees for method invocations It shouldn't be hard to do

if your projecet has modules and you can split translations to put them in the modules then automatic tree shaking would remove most of the unutilized one
