`i18n:coverage` reported 100% while a hundred-odd strings rendered
English in every language. It was not wrong about what it measured: it
reads JSX text, and none of these were JSX text. They were toast
arguments, `confirmDialog({ title, confirmLabel })` props, `title=` and
`aria-label=` attributes, and template literals — every one built from an
expression the codemod cannot read.
176 source strings and 15 plural sets now go through t() and plural(),
translated into all nine languages. Where English put a word in a slot,
the sentence is spelled out per branch instead: `Filter ${verb}` became
"Filter saved" and "Filter created", because which word agrees with what,
and where it sits, is not a property English gets to decide for everyone.
Counts that were `${n} message${n === 1 ? "" : "s"}` are plural() calls,
so Russian and Ukrainian get three forms and Japanese and Chinese get the
one they actually have.
Two of the catalogue's own conventions were worth learning the hard way.
Plural entries are keyed on the English *other* form, not `one` — `one`
is a form English happens to have and Japanese does not. And a constant
table holding English that is translated at the render site is fine: the
literal is a key, not a leak.
Which is what the new check encodes. `scripts/i18n-literals.mjs` accepts
a string that is wrapped where it is written or is a catalogue key
somewhere, and refuses one that is neither — a string no catalogue can
translate, however many languages ship. It found twenty more than my own
sweep had, including the stale-folder toast seen in production. It runs
as part of `npm run i18n:check`.
Also fixed: the catalogue is now awaited before the first paint. The
tree is rebuilt when a catalogue lands, so components recover on their
own, but a string computed in an effect does not — a toast fired in that
gap is emitted in English and stays English. The wait costs nothing
visible, since the session bootstrap already shows a spinner and English
resolves immediately.
And the Japanese agenda title loses a space Japanese does not use:
"{date} からの予定" was written with the English habit of spacing around
a placeholder.
Closes#132.
Stalwart 0.16.20 accepts a synthetic id on `CalendarEvent/set`, writing a
`recurrenceOverrides` entry rather than touching the series, so editing
one date of a recurring event is now something the server does and this
does too.
Editing asks the scope *before* the form opens, because it decides which
event the form is even about: a form populated from the master shows the
series' start date, so editing Wednesday's standup would have offered to
move Monday's. Deleting asks in place of the old confirm.
The patch is narrowed rather than posted hopefully. 0.16.20 sorts
per-occurrence properties into three groups and only one is honest: ten
are refused with `invalidProperties`, twelve more are dropped from the
patch while the response still reports success, and the rest are applied.
That silent middle group is how #26 reached a live server - a successful
response is not evidence anything was written - so `occurrencePatch`
throws on the first group, reports the second to the caller, and the
editor leaves out the five it always sends. A patch that would be
entirely dropped is not sent at all.
The refusal for an occurrence of a this-and-future change offers the
series instead of a bare error toast. Nothing here writes one of those,
but an event synced from another client can carry one.
Two things the scope prompt cost, both worth knowing. A dialog is queued
in a store the moment it is asked for, so it outlives the effect that
asked: without a ref guard a remount queues a second prompt the first
answer cannot retract. And gating the *answer* on the effect's cleanup
flag is worse - StrictMode runs mount, cleanup, mount, so the flag is
already set by the time anyone clicks and the editor never opens.
The mock expands recurrences for the first time, which is what makes any
of this developable. It hands out synthetic ids for everything including
one-offs, gives occurrences a `recurrenceId` and no rule, and reproduces
the refusals - including the silent drops, since a mock that applied them
would let a client that sends them look correct everywhere but a real
server.
