**Bundle files.** Keys live in `client/ui/i18n/locales/<code>/common.json` in Chrome-extension JSON shape: each key maps to `{ "message": "...", "description": "..." }`. `description` is translator context for Crowdin (read from the source file, ignored at runtime) — only `en/common.json` carries descriptions; target bundles carry just `message`. `lib/i18n.ts` strips each entry to its `message` when building the i18next `resources`, so `t()` lookups are unchanged. Placeholders use single braces: `"Install version {version}"`. Add a key to `en/common.json` first (the fallback), then to every other locale. Missing keys fall back to English, then to the key itself (so the gap is visible in the UI).

**Adding a language.** Drop `client/ui/i18n/locales/<code>/common.json`, append the row to `_index.json`, and drop the matching `<code>.svg` into `src/assets/flags/1x1/` (source from the dashboard repo's same-name folder). `LanguagePicker.tsx` eager-globs that flags directory at build time, so **only check in flags for languages we actually ship**. `lib/i18n.ts` discovers bundles via `import.meta.glob('../../../i18n/locales/*/common.json', { eager: true })` (the tree lives outside `frontend/`, so `vite.config.ts` whitelists the parent dir under `server.fs.allow`) — no code change needed to wire a new locale.
|
||||
**Translating bundles.** `client/ui/i18n/TRANSLATING.md` is the authoritative brief for actually producing or reviewing a translation — written for any translator (human or AI agent). It carries the product context, the file-format rules, the placeholder/`\n`/plural constraints (the app has only a one/other plural split — no ICU rules), the per-language do-vs-don't-translate glossary (e.g. "Exit Node" stays English in de/hu but is translated in ru/es/fr/it/pt/zh), and the new-language + review procedures. Read it before adding or editing any locale; keep its glossary/procedures current when conventions change.

**Adding a language.** Drop `client/ui/i18n/locales/<code>/common.json` (follow `TRANSLATING.md`) and append the row to `_index.json`. No flag asset is needed — `LanguagePicker.tsx` deliberately ships no flags ("flags represent countries, not languages"). `lib/i18n.ts` discovers bundles via `import.meta.glob('../../../i18n/locales/*/common.json', { eager: true })` (the tree lives outside `frontend/`, so `vite.config.ts` whitelists the parent dir under `server.fs.allow`) — no code change needed to wire a new locale.

**What gets translated.** Every user-facing string. Don't add hard-coded English — add the key, then `t()`. Internal log strings and the `Update failed` fallback fed into `classifyError()` are not translated.
