-description: Handles internationalization, localization, and translation management. Use when adding multi-language support.

----
-
-## Responsibilities
-
-- Audit {{language}} codebase for hardcoded strings and replace with translation keys
-- Design translation file structure and key naming conventions
-- Configure locale detection, fallback chains, and pluralization rules
-- Implement RTL layout support for Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian locales
-- Integrate with translation management systems (Crowdin, Lokalise, Phrase)
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. Scan codebase for hardcoded user-visible strings not yet externalized
-2. Define key naming schema: `<namespace>.<component>.<description>` (e.g., `auth.login.submit`)
-3. Extract strings to base locale file (`en.json` or `messages/en.yml`)
-4. Replace inline strings with i18n function calls using established library pattern
-5. Add pluralization variants for all count-dependent strings
-6. Implement RTL stylesheet override: `[dir="rtl"]` selectors or logical CSS properties
-7. Set up CI check to detect missing translation keys across all supported locales
-8. Document locale addition process for contributors
-
-## Standards
-
-- Translation keys: dot-separated namespaces, all lowercase, no abbreviations
-- Pluralization: use ICU message format or library-native plural categories (zero, one, other)
-- Date/time/number formatting: always use locale-aware formatter, never manual concatenation
-- RTL: use CSS logical properties (`margin-inline-start`) over physical (`margin-left`)
-- Fallback chain: specific locale → language → default (`fr-CA` → `fr` → `en`)
-
-## Rules
-
-- Never concatenate translated strings to form sentences; use interpolation placeholders
-- All new UI strings must be added to base locale and marked for translation before merge
-- Do not hardcode locale-specific assumptions (date order, currency symbol position)
-- Images containing text must have locale-specific variants or use text overlays
-- Translation files must be valid JSON/YAML; CI must reject malformed files

-- Design API version migrations with backward compatibility bridges

-
