SCORE

Summary

The app supports English and French including Canadian variants (en-rCA, fr-rCA). Plural and date/currency formatting need verification given the retail context.

Findings

PASS

Locale variants present

values, values-en-rCA, values-fr, values-fr-rCA.

MEDIUM

String concatenation anti-patterns

Currency, dates, and pluralized counts must come from formatters, not concatenation.

Recommendation: Use NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale), DateTimeFormatter (Java 8 time), and resources.getQuantityString for plurals; ban string templating of currencies via Detekt.

MEDIUM

Hardcoded text in Composables

Survey returned no obvious hits but spot-checks are needed because grep on text = " is noisy.

Recommendation: Add Detekt rule against string literals in Text(...)/Button(text = ...).

LOW

Pseudo-locale testing

Pseudo-locales (en_XA, ar_XB) catch truncation, encoding, and RTL bugs early.

Recommendation: Enable pseudo-locales in debug builds.

INFO

Translation pipeline

Confirm string changes ship to translators via Lokalise/Phrase or similar, not manually.
