Code Snippet

import company.project.Dbg;
import company.project.Label;
[...]
Dbg dbg = Dbg.getInstance();
Label lbl = new Label();
[...]
dbg.setText("{0}: {1} action taken.");
[...]
label.setText("Menu");

This snippet of code does have strings.

The class company.project.Dbg is a debug class and the text method puts the String parameter into a database for support purposes. That string is not visible to the end user. In that instance, the 'setText' method on a variable of type company.project.Dbg should be filtered.

The variable lbl of class company.project.Label represents a text area in the User Unterface and the setText method passes a user visible string. The string "Menu" passed to this setText method should be flagged: It needs to be externalized out of the code into a resource bundle.
