GlossaryRule class

For each entry whose source value contains a glossary term, every target translation must contain a recognizable form of the canonical translation.

The escape hatch for non-literal uses (e.g. "Book club", where "Book" means a physical book rather than the verb) is @key.glossary_exempt on the SOURCE entry, in either of two shapes:

"glossary_exempt": ["take", "sentence"]   // waive exactly these terms
"glossary_exempt": true                    // waive every term (blunt)

The list form is preferred and is what the hint suggests. One string can use two locked terms non-literally for two different, both-correct reasons while still needing the rest of the glossary applied — the blanket true silently waives those too, and it tells a reviewer nothing about what was waived, which is precisely what a waiver should make visible.

Match strategy (deliberately a heuristic — this is a warning):

• Source side: whole-word case-insensitive match of term against a word-tokenized source value.
• Translation side: case-insensitive substring match of a prefix of the canonical translation. The prefix is the lowercased canonical with the last 2 chars dropped when length > 4 (handles suffix-based inflection: "Reservar" → search "reserv", which also matches "Reserva"/"Reservamos"/"Reservación"). Languages with little suffix inflection (CJK) get the full canonical.

The match is intentionally permissive. False positives are dismissed per-term via @key.glossary_exempt; the warning hint says so, and names the specific term to add.

Properties

defaultSeverity → IssueSeverity

Default severity. May be overridden per-issue.

no setter, override

hashCode → int

The hash code for this object.

no setter, inherited

name → String

Stable rule identifier (snake_case). Used by the report formatter to group findings and by users to silence/ack via state file (post-v1.0).

no setter, override

runtimeType → Type

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

no setter, inherited

Methods

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

inherited

run(DialectProject project) → List<Issue>

Inspect project and return findings. May return an empty list. Should NOT throw — turn unexpected conditions into Issues so the report surfaces them rather than crashing.

override

toString() → String

A string representation of this object.

inherited

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool

The equality operator.
