Inconsistent resource bundle

Reports problems in the properties files contained in the resource bundle.

• Report missing translations

  Use this option to report properties contained in the parent properties file that are missing in inherited ones (unless it's a language dialect).

  Example:

  # messages.properties abc=xxx # messages_fr.properties # Empty file

  Property abc will be reported as untranslated.

• Report inconsistent properties

  Use this option to report properties contained in inherited properties file that are missing in the parent one (or in siblings if there is no parent).

  Example:

  # messages.properties # Empty file # messages_fr.properties abc=xxx

  Property abc translation is not available here for any language except French, and, thus, will be reported as missing in the (default) properties file messages.properties.

• Report properties overridden with the same value

  Use this option to report properties copy-pasted into several properties files verbatim.

  Example:

  # messages.properties abc=xxx # messages_fr.properties abc=xxx

  Property abc will be reported as unnecessarily inherited in the file messages_fr.properties.

• Report properties overridden with different placeholders

  Use this option to check for placeholder consistency in overridden properties.

  Example:

  # messages.properties qwe={0}xxx{1} abc={0}yyy{1} # messages_fr.properties qwe={0}xxx{0}xxx{1} abc={0}yyy

  Property abc will be reported as a property containing message format placeholders not corresponding to messages.properties.

• Report properties overridden with different values endings

  Use this option to check for ending consistency in overridden properties.

  Example:

  # messages.properties abc=xxxzzz # messages_fr.properties abc=xxx;

  Property abc will be reported as ending with special signs (!/?/./:/;) whereas the parent value in messages.properties doesn't.
