# Phase 34: i18n Foundation — Verification Report (Re-verification after Plan 34-08)

**Phase Goal:** Translation framework in place with string extraction, locale-aware formatting, and at least English + one additional language
**Verified:** 2026-04-18T12:00:00Z
**Status:** gaps_found
**Re-verification:** Yes — after gap closure plan 34-08

## Re-verification Context

Previous verification (2026-04-17) found 2 gaps:
1. 58 missing German translation keys across 5 de/*.json files
2. Key parity test failing (14 pass, 5 fail)

Plan 34-08 was executed to close both gaps. This re-verification confirms those gaps are closed and checks for regressions.

**New finding during re-verification:** A pre-existing gap was discovered — `SetupsView.tsx` (the actual setups UI component) has hardcoded English strings and was never wired with `useTranslation`. The previous verification incorrectly passed truth #2 by checking the thin route wrapper (`routes/setups/index.tsx`) rather than the component that actually renders the UI. This gap is reported here.

## Must-Haves

Must-haves carried forward from previous VERIFICATION.md:

| # | Source | Truth |
|---|--------|-------|
| 1 | 34-06 plan | Home page (routes/index.tsx) uses useTranslation and all UI chrome renders via t() calls |
| 2 | 34-06 plan | Setups list page (routes/setups/index.tsx) uses useTranslation and all UI chrome renders via t() calls |
| 3 | 34-06 plan | Profile page (routes/profile.tsx) uses useTranslation and all UI chrome renders via t() calls |
| 4 | 34-06 plan | Settings currency suggestion banner text renders via t() calls |
| 5 | 34-06 plan | All listed components have useTranslation imports and t() calls for every hardcoded English string |
| 6 | 34-06 plan | All new en keys have corresponding de translations with proper German umlauts |
| 7 | 34-07 plan | All German locale files use proper Unicode umlauts — no ASCII fallbacks |
| 8 | Both plans | Key parity test passes (bun test tests/i18n/locales.test.ts) |

## Goal Achievement

### Observable Truths

| # | Truth | Status | Evidence |
|---|-------|--------|----------|
| 1 | Home page uses useTranslation with t() calls | VERIFIED (no change) | `grep -c useTranslation routes/index.tsx` → 4; t("home.popularSetups") etc. confirmed |
| 2 | Setups list page uses useTranslation and all UI chrome renders via t() calls | FAILED | `routes/setups/index.tsx` is a 14-line thin wrapper with no strings. Actual UI is `SetupsView.tsx` which has 0 useTranslation and contains hardcoded strings: "Build your perfect loadout", "Create a setup", "Add items", "Track weight", "New setup name...", "Creating...", "Create" |
| 3 | Profile page uses useTranslation | VERIFIED (no change) | `grep -c useTranslation routes/profile.tsx` → 5; full profile section wired |
| 4 | Settings currency suggestion uses t() calls | VERIFIED (no change) | `t("currency.suggestion", { symbol, code })` at line 298 of settings.tsx; `t("currency.switch")` at line 316 |
| 5 | All listed components have useTranslation wired | VERIFIED (no change) | ThreadTabs: 2, PlanningView: 2, TotalsBar: 2, ThreadCard: 2, PublicSetupCard: 2, SetupImpactSelector: 2, ClassificationBadge: 2, ImpactDeltaBadge: 2, ImageUpload: 2 |
| 6 | All new en keys have corresponding de translations | VERIFIED (GAP CLOSED) | de/common.json has home.*, imageUpload.*, profile.* (34 keys); de/settings.json has currency.suggestion, currency.switch, showConversions.* (4 keys); de/threads.json has card.candidates, card.candidates_one, planning.* (11 keys); de/setups.json has card.by, card.anonymous, impact.compareWith (3 keys); de/collection.json has tabs.setups, totals.*, classificationBadge.* (6 keys) |
| 7 | German locale files use proper Unicode umlauts | VERIFIED (no change) | `grep -r "Loeschen|Zurueck|Bestaetigen|..."` → 0 matches; umlauts present in all 6 de/*.json files |
| 8 | Key parity test passes | VERIFIED (GAP CLOSED) | `bun test tests/i18n/locales.test.ts` → 22 pass, 0 fail (was 14 pass, 5 fail) |

**Score:** 7/8 truths verified

### Deferred Items

None identified.

### Required Artifacts

| Artifact | Expected | Status | Details |
|----------|----------|--------|---------|
| `src/client/routes/index.tsx` | Translated home page | VERIFIED | 4 useTranslation calls wired |
| `src/client/routes/setups/index.tsx` | Translated setups list | FAILED | 14-line wrapper only — actual UI in SetupsView.tsx not translated |
| `src/client/components/SetupsView.tsx` | Translated setups UI | FAILED | 0 useTranslation; hardcoded English throughout |
| `src/client/routes/profile.tsx` | Translated profile page | VERIFIED | 5 useTranslation calls |
| `src/client/locales/de/common.json` | Complete German common translations | VERIFIED | home.*, imageUpload.*, profile.* sections added (34 new keys) |
| `src/client/locales/de/collection.json` | Complete German collection translations | VERIFIED | tabs.setups, totals.*, classificationBadge.* added (6 new keys) |
| `src/client/locales/de/settings.json` | Complete German settings translations | VERIFIED | currency.suggestion, currency.switch, showConversions.* added (4 new keys) |
| `src/client/locales/de/threads.json` | Complete German thread translations | VERIFIED | card.candidates, card.candidates_one, planning.* added (11 new keys) |
| `src/client/locales/de/setups.json` | Complete German setup translations | VERIFIED | card.by, card.anonymous, impact.compareWith added (3 new keys) |

### Key Link Verification

| From | To | Via | Status | Details |
|------|----|-----|--------|---------|
| `src/client/main.tsx` | `src/client/lib/i18n.ts` | `import "./lib/i18n"` | WIRED | First import in main.tsx confirmed |
| `src/client/lib/i18n.ts` | `src/client/locales/de/common.json` | `import deCommon` | WIRED | `grep deCommon i18n.ts` → found; all 6 de/* imports confirmed |
| `src/client/hooks/useFormatters.ts` | `src/client/hooks/useLanguage.ts` | `useLanguage()` | WIRED | 6 mentions of `useLanguage|locale` in useFormatters.ts |
| `src/client/routes/__root.tsx` | `src/client/lib/i18n.ts` | `i18n.changeLanguage` | WIRED | changeLanguage call confirmed |
| `src/client/routes/settings.tsx` | `src/client/hooks/useLanguage.ts` | `useLanguage()` | WIRED | LANGUAGES constant + changeLanguage present |

### Data-Flow Trace (Level 4)

Not applicable — locale files are static bundled content. i18next loads them at initialization.

### Behavioral Spot-Checks

| Behavior | Command | Result | Status |
|----------|---------|--------|--------|
| Build succeeds | `bun run build` | Built in 946ms with no errors | PASS |
| Locale parity test | `bun test tests/i18n/locales.test.ts` | 22 pass, 0 fail | PASS |
| Formatter tests | `bun test tests/formatters.test.ts` | 15 pass, 0 fail | PASS |
| ASCII fallback check | `grep -r "Loeschen|Zurueck|..." src/client/locales/de/` | 0 matches | PASS |

### Requirements Coverage

Phase 34 uses internal D-* requirement IDs not mapped in REQUIREMENTS.md (which tracks v2.1 milestone requirements only). Coverage from phase context:

| Requirement | Description | Status | Evidence |
|-------------|-------------|--------|----------|
| D-01 | All UI strings extractable / use t() | PARTIAL | Most components wired; SetupsView.tsx remains hardcoded |
| D-02 | German language available | VERIFIED | Complete key parity achieved (22 pass, 0 fail) |
| D-03 | Locale-aware formatting | VERIFIED | Intl.NumberFormat in formatters.ts, useLanguage feeds locale |
| D-05 | i18next installed and initialized | VERIFIED | package.json, i18n.ts, main.tsx all confirmed |
| D-13 | Proper German umlauts | VERIFIED | 0 ASCII fallbacks across all 6 de/*.json files |
| D-14 | Natural German phrasing | VERIFIED | German text reads naturally throughout |

### Anti-Patterns Found

| File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
|------|------|---------|----------|--------|
| `src/client/components/SetupsView.tsx` | 25 | `placeholder="New setup name..."` — hardcoded | Blocker | Setups page placeholder not translated |
| `src/client/components/SetupsView.tsx` | 33 | `"Creating..." : "Create"` — hardcoded | Blocker | Setups form button not translated |
| `src/client/components/SetupsView.tsx` | 54 | `"Build your perfect loadout"` — hardcoded heading | Blocker | Empty state heading not translated |
| `src/client/components/SetupsView.tsx` | 62 | `"Create a setup"`, `"Add items"`, `"Track weight"` — hardcoded | Blocker | Empty state step labels not translated |

### Human Verification Required

None — all remaining gaps are verifiable programmatically.

### Gaps Summary

**Closed gaps (from Plan 34-08):**
Both gaps identified in the previous verification are confirmed closed. The 58 missing German translation keys are now present across all 5 de/*.json files, and the key parity test passes with 22 pass, 0 fail.

**Remaining gap:**
`SetupsView.tsx` — the component that actually renders the setups list UI — was listed in Plan 34-02 `files_modified` but was never wired with `useTranslation`. It contains 7+ hardcoded English strings across the create form, empty state heading, and empty state step instructions.

The previous verification incorrectly passed truth #2 by checking `routes/setups/index.tsx` (a 14-line thin wrapper with no strings) rather than `SetupsView.tsx` (the actual rendering component). This gap has existed since Plan 34-02 execution.

**Fix required:** Add `useTranslation(["setups", "common"])` to `SetupsView.tsx`, replace hardcoded strings with `t()` calls, and add the corresponding keys to `en/setups.json` and `de/setups.json`. This is a small, focused fix.
