[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.

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.
