+# App i18n Audit (Remaining Work)
+
+Scope: `packages/app/`
+
+Date: 2026-01-20
+
+This report documents the remaining user-facing strings in `packages/app/src` that are still hardcoded (not routed through `useLanguage().t(...)` / translation keys), plus i18n-adjacent issues like locale-sensitive formatting.
+
+## Current State
+
+- The app uses `useLanguage().t("...")` with dictionaries in `packages/app/src/i18n/en.ts` and `packages/app/src/i18n/zh.ts`.
+- Recent progress (already translated): `packages/app/src/pages/home.tsx`, `packages/app/src/pages/layout.tsx`, `packages/app/src/pages/session.tsx` (plus new keys added in both dictionaries).
+- Dictionary parity check: `en.ts` and `zh.ts` currently contain the same key set (242 keys each; no missing or extra keys).
+
+## Methodology
+
+- Scanned `packages/app/src` (excluding `packages/app/src/i18n/*` and tests).
+- Grepped for:
+  - Hardcoded JSX text nodes (e.g. `>Some text<`)
+  - Hardcoded prop strings (e.g. `title="..."`, `placeholder="..."`, `label="..."`, `description="..."`, `Tooltip value="..."`)
+  - Toast/notification strings, default fallbacks, and error message templates.
+- Manually reviewed top hits to distinguish:
+  - User-facing UI copy (needs translation)
+  - Developer-only logs (`console.*`) (typically does not need translation)
+  - Technical identifiers (e.g. `MCP`, `LSP`, URLs) (may remain untranslated by choice).
+
+## Highest Priority: Pages
+
+### 1) Error Page
+
+File: `packages/app/src/pages/error.tsx`
+
+This is the largest remaining untranslated surface and is user-visible during app failures.
+
+**Page UI copy** (headings/buttons/labels):
+- "Something went wrong"
+- "An error occurred while loading the application."
+- Text field label: "Error Details"
+- Buttons: "Restart", "Checking...", "Check for updates", "Update to {version}"
+- Reporting help: "Please report this error..." and the link caption "on Discord"
+- Version display prefix: "Version: {platform.version}"
+
+**Error chain / formatting strings** (shown inside the details field):
+- "Unknown error"
+- "Caused by:"
+- "Status:", "Retryable:", "Response body:"
+- Generic API fallback: "API error"
+- Suggestion prefix: "Did you mean: ..."
+
+**Recommendation:**
+- Translate all framing/UI labels and action buttons.
+- Decide whether to translate highly technical diagnostics. A good compromise is:
+  - Translate the labels ("Caused by", "Unknown error", "Status")
+  - Keep raw messages from servers/providers as-is
+
+## Highest Priority: Components
+
+### 2) Prompt Input
+
+File: `packages/app/src/components/prompt-input.tsx`
+
+This is the largest remaining i18n surface (placeholders, empty states, tooltips, toasts).
+
+**Untranslated prompt examples**
+- `PLACEHOLDERS` array is English-only (e.g. "Fix broken tests", "Explain how authentication works", ...)
+- Note: the placeholder key `prompt.placeholder.normal` exists and interpolates `{{example}}`, but the examples are not localized.
+
+**Toast copy**
+- "Unsupported paste" / "Only images or PDFs can be pasted here."
+- "Select an agent and model" / "Choose an agent and model before sending a prompt."
+- Failure toasts:
+  - "Failed to create worktree"
+  - "Failed to create session"
+  - "Failed to send shell command"
+  - "Failed to send command"
+  - "Failed to send prompt"
+- Fallback return string: "Request failed" (you already have `common.requestFailed`)
+
+**Empty states / popovers / overlays**
+- "No matching results"
+- "No matching commands"
+- Drag/drop overlay: "Drop images or PDFs here"
+
+**Labels / badges / buttons**
+- Slash badge label: "custom"
+- File pill label: "active"
+- Action: "Include active file"
+- Send/Stop labels: "Send", "Stop" (and the "ESC" hint)
+- Tooltip: "Attach file"
+
+**Recommendation:**
+- Introduce a `prompt.*` namespace for UI strings and toast titles/descriptions.
+- Handle prompt examples as locale-specific arrays OR enumerated keys (e.g. `prompt.example.1`, `prompt.example.2`, ...).
+
+### 3) Provider Connection / Auth Flow
+
+File: `packages/app/src/components/dialog-connect-provider.tsx`
+
+This flow is copy-heavy and user-facing.
+
+**Representative untranslated strings**
+- Login method label: "API key"
+- Status text: "Authorization in progress...", "Waiting for authorization..."
+- Validation: "API key is required", "Authorization code is required", "Invalid authorization code"
+- Field labels/placeholders: "Confirmation code", placeholder "API key", placeholder "Authorization code"
+- Instructional text:
+  - "Visit this link ..."
+  - Provider-specific guidance and OpenCode Zen onboarding paragraphs
+- Buttons: "Submit"
+- Success toast:
+  - "{provider} connected"
+  - "{provider} models are now available to use."
+
+**Recommendation:**
+- Add a `provider.connect.*` namespace.
+- Consider adding shared common keys like `common.submit` if it is used elsewhere.
+
+### 4) Session Header (Share/Publish UI)
+
+File: `packages/app/src/components/session/session-header.tsx`
+
+**Representative untranslated strings**
+- Search placeholder: "Search {projectName}"
+- Tooltips: "Toggle review", "Toggle terminal", "Share session"
+- Share/publish popover:
+  - "Publish on web"
+  - "This session is public on the web..."
+  - "Share session publicly on the web..."
+  - Button states: "Publishing..." / "Publish", "Unpublishing..." / "Unpublish"
+  - Buttons: "Share", "View"
+- Copy tooltip: "Copied" / "Copy link"
+
+**Recommendation:**
+- Most of these should become `session.share.*` keys.
+- Reuse command keys where appropriate (e.g. `command.review.toggle`, `command.terminal.toggle`) instead of introducing new duplicates.
+
+## Medium Priority: Components
+
+### 5) New Session View
+
+File: `packages/app/src/components/session/session-new-view.tsx`
+
+**Untranslated strings**
+- "New session"
+- "Main branch" / "Main branch ({branch})"
+- "Create new worktree"
+- "Last modified"
+
+### 6) Context Usage Tooltip
+
+File: `packages/app/src/components/session-context-usage.tsx`
+
+**Untranslated tooltip labels**
+- "Tokens", "Usage", "Cost"
+- "Click to view context"
+
+**Locale formatting issue**
+- Uses `new Intl.NumberFormat("en-US", { style: "currency", currency: "USD" })`.
+- Recommendation: format using the active locale (e.g. `language.locale()`), or at least `navigator.language`.
+
+### 7) Session Context Tab (Formatting)
+
+File: `packages/app/src/components/session/session-context-tab.tsx`
+
+- Already uses many translation keys for labels (e.g. `context.breakdown.system`).
+- Still forces `Intl.NumberFormat("en-US", ...)` for currency.
+- Has some non-translated fallback symbols like "--" and "-" style output (e.g. "---" / "-" / "--" equivalent "--" is used as "—" in code).
+  - If you want fully localized punctuation, these should become keys as well.
+
+### 8) LSP Indicator
+
+File: `packages/app/src/components/session-lsp-indicator.tsx`
+
+**Untranslated strings**
+- Tooltip: "No LSP servers"
+- Label suffix: "{connected} LSP" (acronym likely fine; the framing text should be localized)
+
+### 9) Session Tab Close Tooltip
+
+File: `packages/app/src/components/session/session-sortable-tab.tsx`
+
+**Untranslated strings**
+- Tooltip: "Close tab"
+
+Note: you already have `common.closeTab`.
+
+### 10) Titlebar Tooltip
+
+File: `packages/app/src/components/titlebar.tsx`
+
+**Untranslated strings**
+- "Toggle sidebar"
+
+Note: can likely reuse `command.sidebar.toggle`.
+
+### 11) Model Selection "Recent" Group
+
+File: `packages/app/src/components/dialog-select-model.tsx`
+
+**Untranslated / fragile string**
+- Hardcoded category name comparisons against "Recent".
+
+Recommendation: introduce a key (e.g. `model.group.recent`) and ensure both the grouping label and the comparator use the localized label, or replace the comparator with an internal enum.
+
+### 12) Select Server Dialog Placeholder (Optional)
+
+File: `packages/app/src/components/dialog-select-server.tsx`
+
+- Placeholder: `http://localhost:4096`
+
+This is an example URL; you may choose to keep it as-is even after translating surrounding labels.
+
+## Medium Priority: Context Modules
+
+### 13) OS/Desktop Notifications
+
+File: `packages/app/src/context/notification.tsx`
+
+**Untranslated notification titles / fallback copy**
+- "Response ready"
+- "Session error"
+- Fallback description: "An error occurred"
+
+Recommendation: `notification.session.*` namespace (separate from the permission/question notifications already added).
+
+### 14) Global Sync (Bootstrap Errors + Toast)
+
+File: `packages/app/src/context/global-sync.tsx`
+
+**Untranslated toast title**
+- `Failed to load sessions for ${project}`
+
+**Untranslated fatal init error**
+- `Could not connect to server. Is there a server running at \`${globalSDK.url}\`?`
+
+### 15) File Load Failure Toast (Duplicate)
+
+Files:
+- `packages/app/src/context/file.tsx`
+- `packages/app/src/context/local.tsx`
+
+**Untranslated toast title**
+- "Failed to load file"
+
+Recommendation: create one shared key (e.g. `toast.file.loadFailed.title`) and reuse it in both contexts.
+
+### 16) Terminal Naming (Tricky)
+
+File: `packages/app/src/context/terminal.tsx`
+
+- User-visible terminal titles are generated as "Terminal" and "Terminal N".
+- There is parsing logic `^Terminal (\d+)$` to compute the next number.
+
+Recommendation:
+- Either keep these English intentionally (stable internal naming), OR
+- Change the data model to store a stable numeric `titleNumber` and render the localized display label separately.
+
+## Low Priority: Utils / Dev-Only Copy
+
+### 17) Default Attachment Filename
+
+File: `packages/app/src/utils/prompt.ts`
+
+- Default filename fallback: "attachment"
+
+Recommendation: `common.attachment` or `prompt.attachment.defaultFilename`.
+
+### 18) Dev-only Root Mount Error
+
+File: `packages/app/src/entry.tsx`
+
+- Dev-only error string: "Root element not found..."
+
+This is only thrown in DEV and is more of a developer diagnostic. Optional to translate.
+
+## Prioritized Implementation Plan
+
+1. `packages/app/src/components/prompt-input.tsx`
+2. `packages/app/src/components/dialog-connect-provider.tsx`
+3. `packages/app/src/components/session/session-header.tsx`
+4. `packages/app/src/pages/error.tsx`
+5. `packages/app/src/components/session/session-new-view.tsx`
+6. `packages/app/src/components/session-context-usage.tsx` + locale formatting improvements (also `packages/app/src/components/session/session-context-tab.tsx`)
+7. Small stragglers:
+   - `packages/app/src/components/session-lsp-indicator.tsx`
+   - `packages/app/src/components/session/session-sortable-tab.tsx`
+   - `packages/app/src/components/titlebar.tsx`
+   - `packages/app/src/components/dialog-select-model.tsx`
+   - `packages/app/src/context/notification.tsx`
+   - `packages/app/src/context/global-sync.tsx`
+   - `packages/app/src/context/file.tsx` + `packages/app/src/context/local.tsx`
+   - `packages/app/src/utils/prompt.ts`
+8. Decide on the terminal naming approach (`packages/app/src/context/terminal.tsx`).
+
+## Suggested Key Naming Conventions
+
+To keep the dictionaries navigable, prefer grouping by surface:
+
+- `error.page.*`, `error.chain.*`
+- `prompt.*` (including examples, tooltips, empty states, toasts)
+- `provider.connect.*` (auth flow UI + validation + success)
+- `session.share.*` (publish/unpublish/copy link)
+- `context.usage.*` (Tokens/Usage/Cost + call to action)
+- `lsp.*` (and potentially `mcp.*` if expanded)
+- `notification.session.*`
+- `toast.file.*`, `toast.session.*`
+
+Also reuse existing command keys for tooltip titles whenever possible (e.g. `command.sidebar.toggle`, `command.review.toggle`, `command.terminal.toggle`).
