# Phase 34: i18n Foundation — Verification Report (Gap-Closure Re-check)
**Phase Goal:** Translation framework in place with string extraction, locale-aware formatting, and at least English + one additional language
**Verified:** 2026-04-17T20:45:00Z
**Status:** gaps_found
**Re-verification:** No — initial verification after gap closure plans 34-06 and 34-07
## Context
Plans 34-01 through 34-05 completed the i18n framework in a prior session. UAT (34-UAT.md) identified one major issue: switching to German only translated the settings page, nav bar, and FAB — most of the UI remained in English and German text used ASCII umlaut approximations (ae/oe/ue). Gap-closure plans 34-06 and 34-07 were executed to address this. This verification checks whether that gap closure succeeded.
## Must-Haves Derived
The ROADMAP shows "TBD (discuss phase)" for success criteria. Must-haves are derived from:
1. The stated phase goal
2. The UAT gap description (primary driver for gap-closure plans)
3. Must-haves declared in 34-06-PLAN.md and 34-07-PLAN.md frontmatter
**Derived truths:**
| # | 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 | `grep -c useTranslation routes/index.tsx` → 4; t("home.popularSetups") etc. confirmed in file |
| 2 | Setups list page uses useTranslation | VERIFIED | `grep useTranslation routes/setups/index.tsx` → 1 import + 1 usage confirmed |
| 3 | Profile page uses useTranslation | VERIFIED | `grep -c useTranslation routes/profile.tsx` → 5; all account/security/danger zone sections wired |
| 4 | Settings currency suggestion uses t() calls | VERIFIED | `t("currency.suggestion", { symbol, code })` at line 298 of settings.tsx confirmed |
| 5 | All listed components have useTranslation wired | VERIFIED | ThreadTabs: 2, PlanningView: 2, TotalsBar: 2, ThreadCard: 2, PublicSetupCard: 2, SetupImpactSelector: 2, ClassificationBadge: 2, ImpactDeltaBadge: 2, ImageUpload: 2; DashboardCard correctly skipped (renders only caller-supplied props) |
| 6 | All new en keys have corresponding de translations | FAILED | Test output shows 58 German keys missing across 5 namespaces — see Gaps Summary |
| 7 | German locale files use proper Unicode umlauts | VERIFIED | `grep Loeschen\|Zurueck\|...` → 0 matches; umlaut counts: common=21, collection=4, settings=11 |
| 8 | Key parity test passes | FAILED | `bun test tests/i18n/locales.test.ts` → 14 pass, **5 fail** |
**Score:** 6/8 truths verified
### Required Artifacts
| Artifact | Expected | Status | Details |
|----------|----------|--------|---------|
| `src/client/routes/index.tsx` | Translated home page | VERIFIED | 4 useTranslation calls, t("home.*") keys wired |
| `src/client/routes/setups/index.tsx` | Translated setups list | VERIFIED | useTranslation("setups") confirmed |
| `src/client/routes/profile.tsx` | Translated profile page | VERIFIED | 5 useTranslation calls, full profile section wired |
| `src/client/components/DashboardCard.tsx` | Translated dashboard card (or correctly skipped) | VERIFIED | No hardcoded strings — all strings passed as props from caller; skip documented in SUMMARY |
| `src/client/locales/de/common.json` | German common translations with proper umlauts | PARTIAL | Umlauts fixed; missing 34 keys added by plan 34-06 |
| `src/client/locales/de/collection.json` | German collection translations with proper umlauts | PARTIAL | Umlauts fixed; missing 6 keys: tabs.setups, totals.totalWeight, totals.totalCost, classificationBadge.{base,worn,consumable} |
| `src/client/locales/de/settings.json` | German settings with proper umlauts | PARTIAL | Umlauts fixed; missing 4 keys: currency.suggestion, currency.switch, showConversions.{title,description} |
| `src/client/locales/de/threads.json` | German thread translations with proper umlauts | PARTIAL | Umlauts fixed; missing 11 keys: card.candidates, card.candidates_one, planning.* (9 keys) |
| `src/client/locales/de/setups.json` | German setup translations with proper umlauts | PARTIAL | Umlauts fixed; missing 3 keys: card.by, card.anonymous, impact.compareWith |
### Key Link Verification
| From | To | Via | Status | Details |
|------|----|-----|--------|---------|
| `routes/index.tsx` | `locales/en/common.json` | `useTranslation("common")` | WIRED | t() calls present for home.* keys |
| `components/TotalsBar.tsx` | `locales/en/collection.json` | `useTranslation("collection")` | WIRED | 2 useTranslation calls confirmed |
| `components/PlanningView.tsx` | `locales/en/threads.json` | `useTranslation(["threads","common"])` | WIRED | planning.* keys used in component |
| `lib/i18n.ts` | `locales/de/common.json` | `import deCommon` | WIRED | File exists and is valid JSON |
### Data-Flow Trace (Level 4)
Not applicable — locale files are static bundled content. i18next loads them at initialization, not via dynamic data fetch.
### Behavioral Spot-Checks
| Behavior | Command | Result | Status |
|----------|---------|--------|--------|
| Build succeeds | `bun run build` | `built in 872ms` with no errors | PASS |
| Locale parity test | `bun test tests/i18n/locales.test.ts` | 14 pass, 5 fail (settings, threads, setups, collection, common) | FAIL |
### Requirements Coverage
Plan 34-06 claims requirements D-01, D-02, D-03. Plan 34-07 claims D-13, D-14. These are phase-internal requirement IDs not mapped in REQUIREMENTS.md (which tracks v2.1 milestone requirements only). Coverage assessed from phase context:
| Requirement | Description | Status | Evidence |
|-------------|-------------|--------|----------|
| D-01 | All UI strings extractable / use t() | PARTIAL | Routes and components wired; de translations incomplete for new keys |
| D-02 | German language available | PARTIAL | German locale exists; missing 58 keys means German UI has fallback gaps |
| D-03 | Locale-aware formatting | VERIFIED | Currency and number formatting via Intl confirmed in prior plans |
| D-13 | Proper German umlauts | VERIFIED | All ASCII fallbacks replaced in 6 de/*.json files |
| D-14 | Natural German phrasing | VERIFIED | onboarding.json improved; German text reads naturally where it exists |
### Anti-Patterns Found
| File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
|------|------|---------|----------|--------|
| `de/common.json` | — | Missing `home.*`, `imageUpload.*`, `profile.*` sections entirely | Blocker | German users see English fallbacks for home page, image upload errors, and entire profile page |
| `de/settings.json` | — | Missing `currency.suggestion`, `currency.switch`, `showConversions.*` | Blocker | German users see English text for currency suggestion banner and price conversion toggle |
| `de/threads.json` | — | Missing `card.*` and `planning.*` sections | Blocker | German users see English for thread card labels and entire planning empty state |
| `de/setups.json` | — | Missing `card.by`, `card.anonymous`, `impact.compareWith` | Blocker | German users see English for setup card attribution and compare selector |
| `de/collection.json` | — | Missing `tabs.setups`, `totals.*`, `classificationBadge.*` | Blocker | German users see English for collection tabs, totals bar, and classification badges |
### Human Verification Required
None — all gaps are verifiable programmatically. The key parity test is the authoritative check.
### Gaps Summary
**Root cause:** Plan 34-06 successfully wired `useTranslation` into all routes and components, and added the required English keys to all 5 namespaces. However, the corresponding German translations were not written to the de/*.json files. Plan 34-07 then corrected ASCII umlaut fallbacks in the existing German locale content, but did not add the new missing keys because they simply were not there to correct.
The 34-06-SUMMARY.md incorrectly claims "19 pass, 0 fail" for the key parity test. The actual current state shows 5 failing namespaces with 58 missing German translations. This gap means:
- German users browsing the home page see English section headings
- German users on the profile page see entirely English content
- The settings currency suggestion banner, thread cards, setup cards, totals bar, and classification badges all fall back to English
- The i18n framework goal of "at least English + one additional language" is technically met structurally but practically incomplete — German coverage has material gaps in 5 of 6 namespaces
**Two gaps block goal achievement:**
1. **58 missing German translation keys** across de/common.json, de/settings.json, de/threads.json, de/setups.json, de/collection.json
2. **Key parity test fails** (5 namespaces) — the project's own contract for locale completeness is violated
These two gaps have a single root cause and a single fix: add the missing German translations to all 5 de/*.json files.
