Hi,
currently, the LT rules written in XML are language-specific. Is there
any reason for this limitation? There are some rules that could be used
for all languages, e.g. misspellings of names, like "Linux Torvalds".
Here's an idea how we could implement that:
-Create a new Maven project languagetool-language-modules/global that
has a grammar.xml file where the language-independent rules are stored.
Rules could look like this:
<rule ...>
<pattern>
<token>Linux</token>
<token>Torvalds</token>
</pattern>
<message>i18n:misspelled_name</message>
<suggestion>Linus Torvalds</suggestion>
...
</rule>
'misspelled_name' is a key in the existing translation file, so that the
message can be translated at Transifex. Maybe if there's no translation,
the rule shouldn't become active?
-Change the dependencies so that every language depends on this new
module
-Adapt the Java code to load the rules from the new file, additionally
to the existing rules
Any ideas or comments?
Regards
Daniel
