… gate - Reflog entries, stash messages and the revert commit are built from the label the UI showed; englishOf() turns a translated label back into its English message, so a Chinese session no longer writes Chinese into the repository's history. - The merge dashboard's NO_OP abort verb is the English sentinel again, so abortLabel() gives "Cancel the merge" in every language. - The rewritten-branch hint is four whole sentences, not words spliced in. - bundle-nls refuses a translation that adds < > & or " the English does not have (translations reach innerHTML and attributes). - CI re-extracts the source bundle and fails on drift, then gates every translation.

- l10n/<locale>.json holds each translation once; bundle-nls --write extracts each product's English source bundle and cuts the catalog down to each extension's own bundle.l10n.<locale>.json (the desktop's cut is made by its build). The extension's zh-cn bundle is byte-identical. - Merge Studio: l10n boot as the first import, its manifest keyed into package.nls.json (brand category kept literal), its support links and pick translated. - Desktop: main picks the language at start (Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Language, or the OS), loads its bundle for main and the shared packages, and the preload hands it to the page before the first script. - scripts/i18n/todo.mjs: numbered translation batches and the merge back.

zh-tw, ja, ko, de, fr, es, it, pt-br, ru, tr, pl, cs translated over the shared catalog (3227 messages each) and both manifests, each with a glossary in l10n/glossary/ drawn from git's and VS Code's own translations; zh-cn gains the desktop's first messages and Merge Studio's manifest. Machine drafts: corrections welcome. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…arry their source line
- plural() gives whole translated messages for the nouns the app counts
("{0} commits"), so a count reads right in languages that change the noun
with the number.
- The support sentence and Home's support lead are functions, read after
the language loads; the branch rows' push/pull titles are translated.
- todo.mjs batches carry the first source line that asks for each message.

…an read
- "Undo {0} local {1}" and six more places passed an English "commit(s)",
"file(s)", "branch(es)" or "tag(s)" into a translated sentence, or
showed it untranslated; each is now a whole message per count.
- Three desktop messages spelled … as \u2026, which @vscode/l10n-dev
extracts as a different character, so no translation could ever match.

Every language now covers the desktop app's 2789 new messages, translated with the source line beside each one; the earlier short messages and fragments were re-checked against their code (Polish staging terms, French reset modes, German formal address, Japanese and Chinese terms, Italian fragment spacing and more). zh-tw follows zh-cn through OpenCC s2twp with Taiwan terms (儲存庫, 簽出, 儲藏, 追蹤, 存取, 建置).

…any language - PR state words, action labels, tabs and review verdicts in the shared engine tables were still English; the desktop's review badges showed GitHub's raw state. - harness: GS_LANG=<locale> ./gen.sh builds the page in that language, and the shim answers language:get.

l10n.t takes no undefined argument; each possibly-undefined value goes in as String(value), which prints what the template literal printed. The Pull branch of the sync failure message was unreachable (Pull returns earlier) and is gone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* release: extension 1.18.0, desktop 2.5.0, Merge Studio 1.3.0 Versions, changelog headings (1 Oct 2026) and release notes for 14 languages across all three products (#70, #73, #74). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(rebase): a reword keeps the commit's description (#75) The interactive rebase workspace read each commit's subject only, so a reword's message box started from the subject and applying it dropped the description. It now reads the whole message (%B, NUL-separated records, as the desktop's rebase view does), seeds the box from it, sizes the box to show it, and the commit counter is translated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * release: the reword fix in 1.18.0's notes Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: Edit Message… on a commit, in the extension and the desktop app (#75) A commit's menu offers Edit Message… where it can work: on the current branch's line, not a merge or below one. It opens the whole message in an editor, then rewords the commit with a rebase that replays what came after — git-service's multiCommit.ts with a third verb, the path Squash already takes — asks whether branches on rewritten commits come along, and offers Undo. Uncommitted changes and an operation in progress refuse it first. Also: publishedWarning was handed English verbs inside translated sentences, and the too-far refusal spliced in a raw verb; both are whole translated messages now.

GitStudio, the desktop app and Merge Studio in 14 languages: English plus Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Turkish, Polish and Czech. Builds on #70 (extension, Simplified Chinese — thanks @AutumnPizazz) and #73.
How it works
l10n/<locale>.jsonholds every message once (6,022 across the three products);scripts/i18n/bundle-nls.mjs --writeextracts each product's English source bundle and cuts the catalog down to each extension'sbundle.l10n.<locale>.json. The desktop's cut is made by its build (dist/l10n).vscode.l10n), commands and settings viapackage.nls.<locale>.json. Merge Studio now boots translations like the extension does.englishOf) whatever the UI language.Quality gates
npm run i18nchecks every catalog for completeness, placeholder parity, and that no translation adds< > & "(translations reach innerHTML).l10n/glossary/), translated with the source line beside each message, then a context review of every short message and fragment. A per-catalog language check guards against wrong-language batches. Corrections from native speakers are welcome — Settings says so.scripts/i18n/todo.mjs <locale>makes numbered batches (with source context) of whatever a language is missing, and merges answers back with the same checks.GS_LANG=de ./gen.shscreenshots the desktop in any language (checked de, ja, zh-cn: Changes, Branches, Settings, a PR page).Also fixed
plural(), "Undo {0} local commits", branch/tag counts) instead of English nouns spliced into translated sentences.…in three desktop messages was mis-extracted, so no translation could match; PR states/actions/tabs/verdicts in the shared engine tables were still English.Tests
desktop 1977/1977 · extension 1920 · git-service 1403 · webview-ui 543 · engine 469 · merge-studio 62 + 54 · Merge Studio export builds and tests standalone; both VSIXs ship all 14 bundles.
Known follow-ups (native review): Czech uses two verbs for "stage"; some count messages in Polish/Czech/Russian use one plural form; a few fragments joined by code read stiffly in SOV languages.
