Run ICU checks on formatted json file format

[razzeee]

Describe the problem

The two file formats right now, that support running the ICU checks are:

• ARB files
• FormatJS

Both don't align with my usage and thus how https://next-intl.dev/ expects the files.

Solution brainstorm

Run the checks on JSON file and JSON nested structure file too

Or if that's too invasive, have a new file format, that supports both the format of the file and running the checks.

Our translation source is here right now https://github.com/flathub-infra/website/tree/main/frontend/public/locales/en

Describe alternatives you have considered

I don't think there are any alternatives right now, without just not having the ICU checks.

You can enable the check for any format by adding icu-message-format flag to the component flags. The two formats enable it automatically because ICU formatting is always used in these, but this is not the case for generic JSON files which might be used in any scope.

How do I do that via the interface. I'm really struggling with the settings, as there are so many places, to potentially setup stuff. But only some have some settings.

In the tab Operations for a component, Settings, Translation.

Those are only the enforced checks, so checks, that can't be dismissed. They don't affect what actually gets run on the repo.

No. You can add more checks in the 'Translation flags' section, as nijel said (adding the icu-message-format flag).

That works, thank you
