Background (taken from crbug/583195):
translation_expectations.pyl contains the list of translatable grd
files and the languages they're expected to be translated into. It's
used internally during the translation process to determine which grd
files should be copied to google3 for translation, etc. Each
repository with grd files (desktop, Android, iOS) has a
translation_expectations.pyl file, which must list every grd file that
contains strings.
translation_expectations.pyl isn't used at all when building (neither
locally nor on the bots), so there's no indication to developers if
translation_expectations.pyl needs to be updated (e.g. because a grd
file was added) or is malformed. Instead, an error will occur much
later when the weekly translation run happens, causing unnecessary
back-and-forth between TPMs and developers and introducing delays.
This happens every few weeks.
This CL adds a presubmit that checks if the contents of the
translation_expectations.pyl matches the list of .grd files in the
repository. The presubmit only runs if a .grd or .grdp file is
modified, so in most cases it's a no-op. It lists the names of missing
and unlisted files in the warning.
