Introduction

Pseudolocalizer is a .NET Global Tool for testing internationalization aspects of software. Specifically, it reads string values from resource files in the resx, XLIFF, or GetText Portable Object (PO) format and generates fake translations for the "qps-Ploc" pseudo-locale (MSDN).

The tool is run from the command line and provides the following options for the fake translation:

  • Add accents on all letters so that non-localized text can be spotted - but without making the text unreadable.
  • Make all words 30% longer, to ensure that there is room for translations.
  • Add brackets to show the start and end of each localized string. This makes it possible to spot strings that have been cut off.
  • Reverse all words ("mirror"), to simulate right-to-left locales.
  • Replace all characters with underscores so that non-localized text can be spotted.
