Context

Any project contains a large amount of human readable text. The team is multi-national and a common primary language needs to be chosen for the project.

Assumptions

That everyone on the team will have a reasonable grasp of the primary language of the project. That it will be reasonable to enforce the primary language on all team members contributions.

Decision

After consultation with the existing team, and considerations of the audience for the project the primary language of the project will be:

  • US English

Risks

  • That people where English is not a primary language will have difficulty conforming to the requirement.

Consequences

Having a uniform language for the project makes it easier for people to interact on a common basis.

Scope

This ADR applies to all projects which consume Catalyst-CI unless they define an ADR specific to that project.
