Inverted question mark flagged in Spanish

... at the beginning of a question. Should not be.

Once you start widespread validating of languages other than English, I expect that you'll find MANY things like this. I have ensured that the language_code is carried through to most places it's needed, so you can either just suppress the warning notice for non-English languages, or else implement language-specific punctuation checks. (So I personally would mark this issue as an enhancement, not a bug.)

Thanks for the insight. Helpful!

The problem is that when translators see any of these errors even the lowest priority warnings, they are reacting strongly to them. We have set the validation level to High by default and yet we still get editors who are pouring over each issue no matter how insignificant. Until we have a validation interface that is integrated directly into the editing process we are delaying teams every time we increase the precision of the validation.

It may be useful to have this warning above, and others like it, as a potential feature for others to develop in the future, but we’re unequipped to track the potential punctuation issues for each language with any consistency (probably even for English). I think spell checking libraries would be better at this than we ever will be. I wonder if these type of issues should be regulated to a priority number that is designated for punctuation issues that are language specific that are ignored by default.
