This was tricky because of the nature of newlines. In actuality we
are removing Unix line feeds here (U+000A) because Windows carriage
returns are actually already removed by the string stripping in the
whitespace fix.
Creating the test case in Vim was difficult because I couldn't fig-
ure out how to manually enter a line feed character. In the end I
used a search and replace on a known pattern like "ALAN", replacing
it with \r. Neither entering the Unicode code point (U+000A) direc-
tly or typing an "Enter" character after ^V worked. Grrr.
Will validate against ISO 639-2 or ISO 639-3 depending on how long
the language field is. Otherwise will return that the language is
invalid.
Does not currently have any support for generic values like "Other".
These standalone characters often indicate issues with encoding or
copy/paste in languages with accents like French and Spanish. For
example: foreˆt should be forêt.
It is not possible to fix these issues automatically, but this will
print a warning so you can notify the owner of the data.
