[AYANOKOUZI, Ryuunosuke]

Dear Michal,

Thanks very much.
New check item (xml-invalid) is working very well.

TL;DR

Adding new page which is specific to "language" and "project",
Weblate would be more useful for translators
to check translation and to validate translation quality.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(I don't intend to force you to add following new feature...)

Do you have a plan to provide language filtered page such as
'checks/<check-item>/<project>/<language>'?
Current page structure ('check/<chcek-item>/<project>/<component>')
is very much useful for "small project" and/or "project manager".
But, from translators point of view,
there is a room for improvement as stated above.

Currently, "Debian Handbook" project have 26 components and 20 languages.
To check "xml-invalid" translations, each translators and/or
leader of translators must visit each component page [1]
and select his/her language at least 26 times.
If we have language filtered page [2], translators could easily
confirm check-status specific to "xml-invalid" check and "language".
I think it contributes to an improvement of translation quality for
each language managed on Weblate.

[2] https://hosted.weblate.org/checks/xml-invalid/debian-handbook/<language>/

Since grammatical background is needed for fixing problem related to translation,
translation check and/or quality validation
should be performed based on "language" not "component".
So, language filtered page [3,4] would be also useful for translators.
