I18n Issues

The return value is created by invoking descriptionWithLocale: where locale is nil. Must explicitly pass locale or use a formatter than honors the currentLocale or NSString localizedStringFromNumber.

Generally one needs to pass in locale, encoding or language to ensure that any culture-dependent conversion is done properly. If you determine that the call is i18n-safe, you can use Globalyzer's Ignore Comment functionality to ensure that it isn't picked up in a subsequent scan.
