From a translation point of view, CHKPII errors in plugin.xml and feature.xml are not an issue as these files are not translated. All strings to be translated must be separated into plugin.properties and feature.properties respectively. From a "we would like the build to help catch strings that should be separated but are not" perspective it may be nice to leave this check in the build. However, CHKPII does not always catch these mistakes and does create false positives sometimes. A PDE usage based solution like Wassim suggests may be best.

Thanks,

Subject	[platform-releng-dev] Translatable Attributes in manifest files

There is no way for the chkpii tool to determine without a shadow of a doubt which attributes in the plugin.xml are translatable and which are not. But PDE can, thanks to all teams marking their translatable attributes as such in their extension point schemas. If the build process starts ignoring plugin.xml files wholesale to avoid bogus errors, then legitimate errors would go unnoticed. Therefore, I recommend that teams set the PDE manifest builder flag for 'usage of non-externalized strings' to ERROR. To do so, bring up the properties dialog of your project. Go to the Plug-in Manifest Compiler property page, and the flag in question is listed last. Wassim. By the way, the inspiration for this email came from my observation that in Nick's workspace, all untranslated attributes are marked as ERROR. So I presume the Platform/UI team were the pioneers of this.
