Italian and Swiss Italian

Keep Italian language review separate from regional numeric and currency conventions.

Decide what the text is meant to follow

  • Is the document using Italian or Swiss Italian policy?
  • Does grouping represent the source value correctly?
  • Are quotes and abbreviations consistent with the intended house style?

Interpret the example in context

A Swiss-oriented numeric example can differ legitimately from an Italy-oriented example.

The model distinguishes these locale choices. Inspect actual quote, date, number and currency findings rather than assuming every visible difference is a defect. A format review must preserve the original amount and source wording.

Inspect the current plugin model

These fields describe the built-in plugin defaults. Read Language & rules for the policy actually used in your inspection; a custom team profile can differ. The defaults are not a universal style guide and do not promise equal rule coverage. Expand a specific locale to compare its expectations.

Use the language evidence deliberately

  1. Check paragraph-language attributes, intended publication convention and actual active policy.
  2. Inspect representative text and read the resolved language and coverage in the panel.
  3. Review complete quotations, numeric source values and relevant line boundaries before any edit.
  4. Apply intended policy changes and inspect again. Retain intentional source differences and obtain competent language review where needed.
