Words Analyzer

The Words police. It makes sure your Words are actually Words.

This is the analyzer for Words, the .NET localization library. Most people don't install it explicitly — Words brings it along — but it stands alone for any project that wants its strings supervised.

What it does

Mark a parameter, property, field, or return value with [Localized] and the analyzer checks that everything assigned to it is localized too: a Words lookup, another [Localized] member, or a method that promises [return: Localized]. Hand it a raw string literal and the build tells you:

warning PTL001: Parameter `message` in method `WriteLocal` expects a localized value

using PatTech.Localization;

WriteLocal(Words.Known["main.greeting"]); // fine
WriteLocal("hello");                      // PTL001, straight to jail

static void WriteLocal([Localized] string message) { ... }

It sees through parentheses, await, conditionals, and switch expressions, and flags only the arms that misbehave — so the one bad branch lights up, not the whole statement.

Getting it

You usually don't have to. PatTech.Localization.Core depends on this package, so anything already using Words gets [Localized] and rule PTL001 for free. To put the attribute on strings in a project that doesn't otherwise use Words, reference it directly:

<PackageReference Include="PatTech.Localization.Analyzer" Version="1.3.0" />

It adds the PTL001 analyzer and a small PatTech.Localization.dll that defines [Localized], and nothing else — no other package dependencies come along.
