Our verification plug-in will output error messages whenever a problem has been identified. It is, of course, not required, but recommended to enter the message strings in a resources file. Start by adding a resources file (named e.g. Resources.resx) to your project. The resources file should contain the following strings:

• A message stating the maximum word count (as set through the plug-in user interface) and the number of words that were actually found in the target segment.
• The name of the plug-in that has detected the problem. This is important, as a user might run several verifiers at the same time (e.g. the QA Checker, the Generic Tag Verification, and our sample WordArt checker). By including the name of the verification plug-in that generated an error, the user will know from verifier a particular message came. In the Messages window of SDL Trados Studio 2014 users can also sort error messages by plug-in name.

Below you see an example of a verification message as it might be thrown by our sample plug-in:

The resources file will look as shown below:
