Rule Set Information

The rule set of this plugin for internationalization static code analysis focus on key internationalization issues -- particularly those issues that can cause more serious bugs in code. Plugin coverage includes internationalization issues around input/output, locales, formatting (dates, times, numbers, etc.), sorting, etc.

• Rules V1002-1008 check for potential i18n issues with input/output.
• Rules V1010-1020 relate to locales. Many internationalization pieces, such as formatting, sorting, line-breaking, and more, depend on locales.
• Rules V1009-v1011 relate to date/time formatting issues.
• Rules V1014-V1018 relate to linguistic sorting/collation.

More details about the rules, the exact APIs checked, as well as suggested code fixes for resolution can be found in the HTML files that are part of this plugin.
