• Translation key validation
• Fluent translation accessibility
• Translation fallback behavior
• Locale parsing validation
• Unicode and special character handling
• Case sensitivity testing
• Edge cases and error conditions

Key Test Functions:

test_mode_i18n_key_generation()           // Tests mode key generation patterns

• "" → "en-US" (fallback)

Integration Tests#

4. Comprehensive Integration Tests (tests/integration/filtering_i18n_integration_test.rs)#

Troubleshooting#

Common Issues#

1. Database Connection Errors:

   • Check that fluent loader is properly initialized

3. Performance Test Failures:

   • Run in release mode for accurate performance measurements
   • Adjust timing thresholds based on system capabilities

4. Memory Test Failures:

   • Run tests individually to isolate memory usage
   • Check for memory leaks in translation caching

Debug Commands#

   • Update test cases in all test files
   • Add locale to supported locale lists

2. New Filter Criteria:

   • Update FilterCriteria struct tests
   • Add cache key generation tests
   • Include in integration workflows

3. New Translation Keys:
