Translations

Translations live in app/messages/<lang>.json. They are compiled into plain functions at build time with Paraglide, so six languages cost about 50 bytes in the initial bundle.

Fixing a string

1. Find the key in app/messages/en.json.
2. Change the value in the language file.
3. Run npm test in app/. A test checks that every language has every key.

Adding a language

1. Copy en.json to the new language code.
2. Add the locale in app/project.inlang/settings.json.
3. Translate. Keep placeholders such as {count} and {name}.
4. Run npm run paraglide:compile and npm test.

Known limits

Polish has three plural forms, which the message format does not express yet. Affected strings avoid the plural. Room, device and scene names are never translated.

Native-speaker reviews are welcome for French, Italian, Portuguese and Polish. See the translation issues.
