Part of #96: the hand pass on the translations, and the strings that had no translation.

Before

The landing page was translated by hosted NLLB. Problems included:

  • Grammar broken around glossary terms: `Busca en el issues abiertos`, `localización espacio de trabajo`.
  • Missed terms: `言語スイッチとローカル・ピックー`.
  • Latin punctuation in Japanese.
  • Literal brand names: "Tailwind" → "ريح الذيل" ("tail wind").
  • 4 / 16 / 9 strings (es / ja / ar) with no translation, falling back to English.

What changed

  • Every landing string (137 keys) was reviewed by Claude Haiku against the English and the glossary.
    • About 95 per language were rewritten, and all missing ones translated.
    • `` tags and `{placeholders}` were checked against the English: 0 mismatches.
  • Demo content stays as written in every locale, because it is there to show other languages:
    • the en → fr translation card ("Welcome back, Sarah" / "Bienvenue, Sarah !");
    • the Arabic text in the RTL preview;
    • the `en` / `fr` / `AR` language-code badges.
  • Sentences split across two keys now read correctly together:
    • footer "Made with ❤️ by…";
    • features heading. Japanese needs the reverse order: `ローカライズに必要なものが、` + `すべてここに。`
  • `Tailwind` was added to `neverTranslate`.
  • Babelize keeps these values. The lockfile records them with `metadata.manual`. A dry run of `babelize@1.0.17 translate --to es,ja,ar` on this branch re-translates nothing and changes no files.

Checked

  • `next start`: `/es`, `/ja` and `/ar` render with no leftover English phrases.
  • Lint, `format:check`, typecheck, tests and `build` all pass.

Worth a native glance

  • ja hero: `ローカライゼーション UI コンポーネントReact 向け。`. The highlighted span keeps "for React" second to match the layout; a native speaker might prefer the other order.
  • ar: Latin brand names joined directly to Arabic letters (`وreact-intl`).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Localization
    • Updated Arabic, Spanish, and Japanese translations across community, components, contribution, editing, FAQ, features, footer, getting-started, hero, and navigation content.
    • Added missing translated labels and FAQ responses in several locales, including theme, status, language, and menu options.
    • Updated terminology and phrasing for clearer, more consistent descriptions of product features, installation, and community content.
    • Tailwind is now kept untranslated in glossary-based translations.

The landing page was machine-translated by hosted NLLB: grammar broken
around glossary terms, wrong terms, Latin punctuation in Japanese, and
4/16/9 strings (es/ja/ar) still falling back to English. Every landing
string was reviewed by Claude Haiku against the English and the glossary;
about 95 per language were rewritten and the missing ones translated.

- Demo content that shows other languages stays as written in every
  locale: the en -> fr translation card, the Arabic RTL preview and the
  language-code badges.
- Sentences split across two keys (footer, features heading) were fixed so
  they read correctly together, including Japanese word order.
- The lockfile records the new values with metadata.manual, so Babelize
  keeps them: a dry run re-translates nothing and changes no files.
- "Tailwind" joins the glossary's neverTranslate (NLLB rendered it as
  "tail wind").

Walkthrough

The glossary now preserves “Tailwind” from translation. Arabic, Spanish, and Japanese landing-page locale files revise existing strings and add some previously missing labels and descriptions.

Changes: Glossary term handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preserve Tailwind in translations
.babelize/config.json
The glossary’s neverTranslate list now includes Tailwind.

Landing-page translations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Community, component, contribution, and editing copy
public/locales/ar.json, public/locales/es.json, public/locales/ja.json
The locale files revise community and component text, along with contribution and editing strings.
FAQ and feature descriptions
public/locales/ar.json, public/locales/es.json, public/locales/ja.json
The locale files revise FAQ and feature text and add several missing strings.
Footer, getting started, hero, and navigation
public/locales/ar.json, public/locales/es.json, public/locales/ja.json
The locale files revise footer, getting-started, hero, and navigation text. Japanese GitHub-counter formats use Japanese parentheses.

- Around line 112-113: Update the Japanese translations for
`babelizeElementsMadeWith` and `byDevelopersAtBabelizeFor` so the text
surrounding the rendered heart forms one continuous credit sentence, rather than
two sentences, while preserving the intended meaning.

# Conflicts:

#	public/locales/ja.json
The labels added in #100 weren't in .babelize/local/babelize-lock.json, so
the next babelize run would have re-translated them; they're recorded as
manual now. Locale keys are sorted the way Babelize writes them, so a
babelize translate dry run changes nothing.
