General hints:
## General hints

* Use the String you want to localize directly, do not use members or local variables: `Localization.lang("Translate me");` instead of `Localization.lang(someVariable)` (possibly in the form `someVariable = Localization.lang("Translate me")`
* Use `%x`-variables where appropriate: `Localization.lang("Exported %0 entries.", number)` instead of `Localization.lang("Exported ") + number + Localization.lang(" entries.");`
* Use a full stop/period (".") to end full sentences

The tests check whether translation strings appear correctly in the resource bundles.
## Checking for correctness

The tests in `org.jabref.logic.l10n.LocalizationConsistencyTest` check whether translation strings appear correctly in the resource bundles.

## Adding a new key

1. Add new `Localization.lang("KEY")` to Java file. Run the `org.jabref.logic.LocalizationConsistencyTest`.
2. Tests fail. In the test output a snippet is generated which must be added to the English translation file.
