Automated Contentful Translation Coverage Checks
Every Monday, WebRun opens Contentful, goes through your published entries locale by locale, finds the ones that exist in the main language only, opens a Trello card per content type with the entries to translate, and sends the coverage summary to WhatsApp.
How do I find published content that is missing a translation?
WebRun checks translation coverage every Monday. It opens Contentful, compares your published entries locale by locale, finds the ones living in the main language only, opens a Trello card per content type with the entries and fields to translate, and sends the summary to WhatsApp.
- Untranslated live pages are named every Monday
- Translation work arrives batched by content type
- Coverage per locale is tracked week to week

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it translate or publish entries itself?
No. WebRun only reports which published entries are missing a locale. Writing a translation and publishing it stays with your content team, so nothing goes live unreviewed.
Which entries does it check?
Published entries across the space, compared locale by locale. Drafts are left out so the report reflects what is actually live and visible to readers.
Can it group the work for a translator?
Yes. Gaps are grouped by content type on the Trello board with the locale and the fields to fill, so a translator gets one batched brief instead of scattered entries.
