A Canadian language-service provider bills fr-CA revision at $0.10 to $0.15 a word; a 12,000-word UI string set is $1,200 to $1,800.
Buy the full version — $29It reads the French-Canadian locale file open in your editor and reports, line by line, every string that would not survive a Quebec francization complaint: France-French words the OQLF replaces, English text left untranslated, euro amounts, slashed dates, English number separators, unaccented capitals, empty or TODO values, and an fr-FR locale tag. Nine rules, each with the Quebec wording to use instead.
Product and localization engineers at software companies that sell to Quebec. If your repository has an fr.json, fr-CA.json or app_fr.arb and a customer in Montreal or Quebec City sees that build, you are inside the Charter of the French Language. The extension is aimed at the developer who owns the locale file, not at a translation vendor.
General chatbots write France French by default. Ask one for a French UI string and you get e-mail, shopping, week-end and chat — the exact words the Office quebecois de la langue francaise replaces with courriel, magasinage, fin de semaine and clavardage. A chatbot also does not read your file line by line, so it never tells you which of 2,000 keys is still English.
Free, with no key: all 9 rules run on the locale file you have open, in the editor and on the web page, with full line numbers and suggested Quebec wording. The licence key adds a different job — one sweep across every locale file in the workspace, a Markdown report, a CSV or JSON export you keep, and a CI exit code. $29 once, 7-day full refund.
A Canadian language-service provider bills fr-CA revision at $0.10 to $0.15 a word, so a 12,000-word UI string set is $1,200 to $1,800 per pass, and you pay it again on the next release. Under the Charter of the French Language a company faces $3,000 to $30,000 a day for the violation this linter is pointed at.
