Every non-English catalog was missing the same 14 keys, so 18 locales rendered
those strings in English. This fills all of them: 252 new translations, written
against each catalog's existing terminology rather than machine-translated cold.

What was missing, and which feature shipped it

Keys Feature Notes
layers.selectFeatures{Menu,Single,Rectangle,Polygon,Freehand,Radius,Modifiers} Select features by drawing on the map (#1956) The layer context menu and its modifier-key hint
settings.menu.startupSettings, settings.startup.{globeByDefault,globeByDefaultHint,restoring} Startup Settings section and the 3D globe default (#1962)
stacPlugin.{noMatchesHere,treeEmpty,treeOpenFailed} STAC catalog tree browsing Passed through to maplibre-stac as label overrides

Coverage is now 100% in all 18 locales (ar de es fa fr hi id it ja ka ko nl pt ru th tr vi zh), up from 4911/4925 keys each.

Terminology

New strings reuse the vocabulary each catalog already established, so the same
concept does not get two names in one menu:

  • "Select features" copies selection.select verbatim in every locale (de
    "Objekte auswählen", pt "Selecionar feições", ru "Выбрать объекты", ja
    "フィーチャを選択", ar "تحديد المعالم").
  • The Shift/Alt hint follows selection.mode{Add,Remove,Intersect} and reuses
    each catalog's "Press Esc to cancel" phrasing from
    processing.whitebox.drawBboxHint. Key names (Shift, Alt, Esc) stay in Latin
    script, matching how the catalogs already render them.
  • Rectangle and freehand follow annotations.tools.{rectangle,freehand};
    polygon follows each catalog's geometry term (nl "polygoon", not the "Vlak"
    used for the geometry type).
  • stacPlugin.treeEmpty copies browser.emptyGroup, and treeOpenFailed
    follows the "Could not ..." register of stacPlugin.connectFailed.
  • Globe wording follows toolbar.mapControl.globe (zh 地球, ja 地球儀, ko 지구본,
    tr Küre, id Bola dunia).

Three vi.json repairs

vi.json has a known problem where past passes left keys holding a different
key's value. Three of those sit in the sections this PR fills, so they are fixed
here rather than left next to freshly correct neighbours:

Key Was Now
settings.startup.title the full loadWarning sentence, as a section heading "Dự án khởi động"
settings.menu.interfaceSettings "Mã hex màu tùy chỉnh" (Custom hex color) "Cài đặt giao diện người dùng"
annotations.tools.freehand "Xóa tất cả chú thích" (Clear all annotations) "Đánh dấu nét vẽ tự do"

More of these remain elsewhere in vi.json; a systematic pass is a separate job.

Apparent gaps that are correct as-is

A naive key diff flags these. They are not bugs, please do not file them:

  • zh, ja, ko, id, th, vi have no _one forms. Those languages
    have a single CLDR plural category (other). An _one would be a form
    i18next never selects.
  • ar and ru carry _zero/_two/_few/_many that English lacks.
    English needs only _one/_other; those languages need more. The parity test
    normalizes plural suffixes before comparing precisely so this is not read as
    extra keys.
  • Values byte-identical to English are overwhelmingly URLs, product names
    (OpenFreeMap, Protomaps, Mapillary) and format names (GeoTIFF, NetCDF).

Out of scope

Catalog coverage at 100% does not mean the UI is fully translated: strings never
wrapped in t() render English everywhere and are invisible to the catalogs. A
scan finds roughly 70 such strings across ~17 components, concentrated in
RasterSymbologySection.tsx, ModelBuilderDialog.tsx, ManagePluginsDialog.tsx
and the attribute/processing dialogs. docs/i18n.md frames i18n as deliberately
incremental with English fallback, so migrating those is separate work.

Verification

  • tests/i18n-catalogs.test.ts, tests/i18n-languages.test.ts,
    tests/add-data-i18n.test.ts: 64 passing
  • npm run test:frontend: 6230 passing, 0 failing
  • pre-commit run --files apps/geolibre-desktop/src/i18n/locales/*.json (includes
    the full npm build): passing
  • Diff is additive: 14 insertions per file, 0 deletions, except vi.json where
    the extra deletions are the trailing-comma lines and the three repairs above.

These translations were authored against the existing catalogs rather than by
native speakers. Corrections are very welcome, especially for ka, th, fa
and vi.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Localization
    • Added translations across multiple languages for startup settings, including default 3D globe behavior and project restoration status.
    • Added localized messages for empty or unavailable STAC catalog results.
    • Added labels and modifier-key guidance for feature selection by click, rectangle, polygon, freehand, and radius.
    • Corrected several Vietnamese interface, startup, STAC, and annotation labels.

Recent features shipped English-only strings that never reached the
non-English catalogs: select features by drawing (#1956), the Startup
Settings section with the 3D globe default, and the STAC catalog tree.
Every locale fell back to English for those 14 keys.

Also repairs three vi.json values that held an unrelated key's string in
the sections touched here: settings.startup.title (held the loadWarning
sentence), settings.menu.interfaceSettings, and annotations.tools.freehand.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with translations to share,
Startup words now bloom everywhere.
STAC trees speak when results are few,
Selection tools guide what maps can do.
I nibble the keys and hop away.

Code review

Bugs: None found. All 14 new keys land in the correct nested location in every locale file, matching the exact key paths referenced in the consuming components (SettingsDialog.tsx, TopToolbar.tsx, LayerPanel.tsx, App.tsx). Confidence: high.

Security: None found. Pure static-string additions to translation catalogs; no interpolation, no new user-controlled input paths. Confidence: high.

Performance: Not applicable — no code paths changed, only JSON data.

Quality:

  • No stray or missing {{}} interpolation placeholders were introduced (the 14 new keys carry none in en.json, and none of the 18 locale translations added any). Confidence: high.
  • Each of the 18 locale files gains exactly the 8 distinct new key names once each (no duplicate-key shadowing), consistent with changed-files.txt's reported line counts. Confidence: high.
  • vi.json's extra deletions are exactly the three described repairs (startup.title, settings.menu.interfaceSettings, annotations.tools.freehand) plus the two trailing-comma adjustments needed to insert new keys after selectError and startDate — verified by reading the surrounding JSON, and it parses/structures correctly. Confidence: high.
  • Translation quality itself (especially for ka, th, fa, vi, which the author flags as least confident) can't be fully verified without native fluency; spot-checked phrasing looks plausible and consistent with the surrounding catalog's existing terminology per the PR's stated methodology. Confidence: low (inherent to non-native review).

CLAUDE.md: No violations — this follows the documented i18n convention (en.json as source of truth, t() already in place, no ml-/physical-direction concerns since no new UI markup was added). Confidence: high.

No inline comments were posted; this is a clean, mechanical, well-scoped translation-fill PR with matching key placement, no stray placeholders, and no structural JSON issues.

- de: "Shift+Alt schneidet" -> "Shift+Alt bildet die Schnittmenge". Without an
  object, "schneidet" reads ambiguously against the catalog's "Zuschneiden" for
  Clip; the set-theoretic phrasing states the operation outright.
- es: "Cargue más" -> "Carga más" in stacPlugin.noMatchesHere. The catalog is
  mostly usted, but every other string in the STAC panel uses tú (Elige,
  Selecciona, Introduce, Haz clic), so the panel now reads consistently.

All files have exactly 4 occurrences each (one per key), matching en.json — no duplicates. This confirms structural consistency across all 18 locale files plus the English source.

This is a clean, mechanical, well-scoped translation PR. Structurally everything checks out: every added key matches an existing en.json key exactly (name, count, no duplicates), indentation/nesting is consistent with surrounding context in every file, and the vi.json corrections align with the English source strings they claim to fix. I don't see bugs, security issues, performance concerns, or CLAUDE.md violations — there's no source code here, just locale JSON. Translation quality across 18 languages isn't something I can independently verify without native fluency, so I'm not flagging content I can't verify, per the review scope (skip issues I can't ground in the diff/repo).

No inline comments to post — nothing met the bar for a specific, actionable finding.

Code review

No issues found.

Checked:

  • Bugs: All 18 locale files add the same 4 key sets (settings.menu.startupSettings; settings.startup.{globeByDefault,globeByDefaultHint,restoring}; stacPlugin.{noMatchesHere,treeEmpty,treeOpenFailed}; layers.selectFeatures{Menu,Single,Rectangle,Polygon,Freehand,Radius,Modifiers}), each verified to exist in en.json with matching key names and no duplicates (grep count of 4 per file, same as en.json). vi.json's three repaired keys (startup.title, menu.interfaceSettings, annotations.tools.freehand) now match the English source's meaning. Confidence: high.
  • Security: None — pure locale-string additions, no interpolation/templating changes, no new t() call sites. Confidence: high.
  • Performance: N/A — static JSON data only. Confidence: high.
  • Quality: Minor — in vi.json the three stacPlugin keys are appended at the end of the object (near startDate) rather than inline near loadingMore/noResults where every other locale places them; functionally harmless (JSON key order doesn't affect i18next lookups) but slightly inconsistent with the other 17 files. Confidence: low, not worth a fix.
  • CLAUDE.md: N/A — no guidance in CLAUDE.md applies to locale catalog edits beyond the i18n conventions already followed (values added via direct catalog edits, en.json used as source of truth). Confidence: high.
