Hi Claude,

Very good point. I am not familiar with the translation process. I think we 
would benefit from the linter. It’s not so much a linter in the traditional 
sense, since it’s not linting any code. It rather finds small errors in 
translations files. Inconsistencies in punctuation, line count or leading or 
trailing whitespaces.
You can also use it to do spell checking.

I believe we would benefit from that, but looking though the errors it find, 
most of it is inconsistent punctuation and leading whitespaces. It kind of 
depends where the translation is used, it it’s used in HTML in most cases, you 
won’t even see trailing whitespaces. Still, in some cases you might, and those 
would be caught.

Bottom line, I think it depends. If we can integrate it well into the 
translation process, it could add benefit. If it makes the translation process 
more difficult, I believe it’s not worth it.

Best
-Joe
