/**
* Step 1: Find all the (english) translation keys across all branches and PRs.
*
* If a Dutch developer has made a feature in a branch, we expect that him/her added a key
* to one or many locale files (usually the english locale (en.json) or to their own locale
* file (nl.json), or both).
*
* But they probably haven't added translations to all the other locales, because they don't
* speak the other languages. And this is the problem, because now we need find people to help
* translate the added keys to all the other locales.
*
* So what we do here is simply to find *all* the english translation keys across the entire
* project. That means looking at all the english translations keys in all the locale files
* since the start of the project across all branches and PRs. We throw them into a set that

This sounds unnecessary to me, as it would also include WIP's and stale branches. But it might be some cases where this makes sense that I have not thought about?

Yeah, that's the part that sucks, but having it would make sure that all translations are added and (hopefully) translated by the time we want to merge it.

Aha, I understand. So a possible solution would be to run this if this run as a cronjob or something, so that the sheet is updated as soon as there are new texts in the repo?

Yeah, so in the case with Stano's PR, those translations are now added to the sheet (even though his PR is WIP). Not sure if we want that or not, but we could try it out?
