• MissingTranslation - Checks for incomplete translations where not all strings are translated!

• ExtraTranslation - Checks for translations that appear to be unused!

• SpUsage - Looks for uses of dp instead of sp dimensions for text sizes!

• UnusedResources - Looks for unused resources!

• HardcodedText - Looks for hardcoded text attributes which should be converted to resource lookup
