Second extraction pass: the strings the codemod could not see
`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.

German, generated by AI and marked Beta until somebody signs it off
The first language, and the first one where the honest thing to say is not flattering: no native speaker has read it. That is stated in the app rather than in a commit nobody reads, because it is the fact a reader needs to judge what they are looking at. Somebody told a translation is unchecked forgives an odd sentence and reports it; somebody told it was reviewed reasonably concludes the product is sloppy. The setting carries a link straight to a report, which is the whole review process here. `beta` is a property of the language, not of the catalogue's completeness. A file can be word-for-word finished and still read like a machine wrote it, and that is what the flag marks. Removing it is a person's decision. Register is "Sie", consistently, and written down in the file so the next language and the next contributor inherit the decision rather than re-take it. Thunderbird and Outlook use it; ihasmail is as often a company's mail as somebody's own, where "du" from software the workplace deployed reads as presumptuous. Where a string can dodge the question it does, which is ordinary good German UI. The glossary at the top of the file fixes the vocabulary once -- Posteingang, Papierkorb, Entwürfe, archivieren -- because inconsistency reads as amateur far more than an imperfect word choice does. "Label" and "Spam" stay English, since translating them would name things no German mail client calls that. 766 of 781 strings. The fifteen left are product names, bare URLs and example addresses, which should stay English and now do. Two things this turned up that the earlier work had hidden: Labels defined as module-level constants -- the entire settings navigation, the theme cards, the swipe choices, the date formats, the sharing permissions -- are evaluated once, before any catalogue loads, so they could only ever be English. Nothing failed; the German build simply had an English sidebar. They are translated where they render now, which keeps the constant as data and makes its English text the key. And the codemod's narrowed rule, which let it take 73 more strings last time, was too broad after all: text stranded after an inline <a> or <strong> came through as sentence fragments -- ", and what a new account starts on." Eight of them, rebuilt with tNode so the sentence stays whole and the element is a named hole a translator can move. scripts/i18n-catalog-check.mjs is new and earned itself immediately: it found three keys invented that the code never asks for, which is the silent failure in a catalogue -- a translation that looks right, is never looked up, and renders English for ever. It also had to be taught about t(variable), because it cried wolf 33 times over the constants above, and a check that cries wolf gets switched off. Verified in the browser rather than only in tests, which is where the settings sidebar being English was visible and nowhere else. |

Extract 515 strings by codemod, and the two bugs only a screenshot caught
Wrapping ~1,000 strings by hand is a thousand chances to mistype the copy
itself, and a parser does not get bored. scripts/i18n-extract.mjs does the
mechanical part -- JSX text and the attributes a person actually reads -- and
refuses the rest rather than guessing. 78% now: 515 wrapped, 143 left.
What it refuses matters as much as what it does. Text split around an
interpolation arrives as separate fragments, and wrapping each on its own
produces "Move " and " messages", which no translator can do anything with;
those are listed for a person to rebuild as sentences. So is anything
containing a double quote, which would end the literal.
Three things it had to be taught, each found by running it:
- <code>, <kbd> and <pre> are not prose. The first run wrapped `label:name`
inside <code> -- a search operator, where translating it breaks the thing it
documents. Subtrees marked translate="no" are skipped for the same reason.
- `t` is a natural name for a callback parameter and several files already use
it, so an import called `t` is shadowed inside those callbacks -- silently,
wherever the local happens to be callable. The name is checked per file now
and aliased to `translate` where it is taken.
- JSX decodes HTML entities and a JS string literal does not, so
`Language & region` moved into t("...") and rendered the entity on screen.
That last one is the one worth remembering. Typecheck passed, 443 tests
passed, and the page said "Language & region" in plain sight. It took
looking at a screenshot, and then a sweep of ten views to find the second
occurrence in a sentence I had written by hand earlier the same day. Nothing
in the toolchain was ever going to catch it: it is valid TypeScript rendering
valid text that happens to be wrong.
The codemod decodes entities now, and checks for a quote after decoding rather
than before.

Defend against Chrome rewriting the DOM, and add the language setting
Groundwork for un-shelving translations. Chrome's translator rewrites the rendered DOM directly, wrapping text nodes in <font> elements React has never heard of, and the next update can then call removeChild against a parent whose children have moved (facebook/react#11538). This is the structural defence against that, plus the setting the served language will read from. The language setting is `uiLanguage`, and it is deliberately not the `locale` field that already exists. That one is a formatting choice -- what calendar, clock and numerals to use -- and folding the two together would silently rewrite everybody's date format the first time they picked a language. German dates with an English interface is a real preference, and so is the reverse. It defaults to English when absent, which covers both a new account and every settings file written before this, and Accept-Language is not consulted: a served locale should be something the reader chose rather than something guessed and then written down as though they had. Only languages with strings shipped are offered, which today means English alone -- a picker entry without a catalogue behind it would leave the page claiming a language it is not in, which stops a reader translating a page they cannot read. `<html lang>` is set where applyTheme is set: at store module load, from the localStorage cache, before createRoot() has rendered anything. Not in an effect -- a lang that is briefly wrong is enough to raise the translate prompt on a page that needed none. There is no server-rendered alternative to reach for here: ihasmail serves a static shell and holds no account state, and the settings file lives in the reader's own JMAP Files, so reading it before the page existed would mean authenticating to Stalwart on every page load. The static lang="en" in index.html covers the first bytes; the store only ever corrects a reader who chose otherwise. Both halves are tested. translate="no" and class="notranslate" go on the narrow boundaries only: rendered email bodies, raw message source, attachment text, the generated and hand-edited Sieve, the brand and the login name. Not on <body> -- someone whose language ihasmail does not speak yet should still be able to translate the parts that are ours. Email bodies turn out to live in a shadow root, so React never reconciles them and they were never a crash risk; the marker there is about not rewriting what a sender actually wrote. Twenty-four fragile interpolation points were found with the TypeScript parser rather than grep, and fifteen refactored. Pluralisation and "count + label" pairs are collapsed into a single expression so the text is a lone child React updates with textContent, rather than a text node with conditional siblings to insert around. One of them -- InviteCard's {method === "REPLY" && organizer ? "" : ""} -- rendered an empty string either way and is simply gone. The boundary is scoped to the main content, so the header, folder tree and any open composer sit outside it and survive independently. It recovers by remounting the subtree, which costs nothing because everything inside re-derives from the stores, and it logs at info rather than error: a reader translating a page is expected and recovered from, and filing it as an error would put an entry in every console-reading reporter for behaviour that worked. It re-raises anything that is not a DOM mutation error, so a real bug still surfaces as one, and it gives up after three attempts rather than looping invisibly. Worth recording: the crash could not be reproduced on React 19.2.8. Wrapping 207-249 React-managed text nodes in <font>, exactly as the translator does, then driving in-place conditional toggles and navigations, left the app intact with the boundary never firing. The original issue is from React 16 and the reconciler has changed a great deal since. So this lands as defence whose premise is weaker than assumed rather than as a fix for something observed here, and the boundary is insurance rather than a load-bearing part. The notranslate markers and the collapsed interpolations stand on their own merits either way. |

Stop offering to share mail folders, and let a share be removed
Sharing a mail folder does nothing. `Mailbox/set` takes the `shareWith` map, `Mailbox/get` reads it back, and the folder never appears for the account it was shared with -- confirmed on the live 0.16.19 with a folder shared read-only to another account on the same server, which never saw it. Stalwart's sharing documentation lists calendars, address books and file storage; mail folders are not among them. Nothing anywhere reports a failure, so a client that trusts what it reads back shows the share as live for ever, which is what happened. The entry point is withdrawn. Address book sharing goes with it on a report that it behaved the same way -- not reproduced, and contradicted by Stalwart's own docs, so that one is expected back; it is out because offering a share nobody can verify was worse than the gap. Files and calendars are untouched. Removing a share was impossible, for a reason worth writing down. The dialog rendered the list of who a thing was shared with *inside* the branch that runs when the directory has principals to offer. A server with `allowDirectoryQueries` off returns none -- that is the default, and it is how these shares came to be made in the first place -- so the dialog showed one line of hint and nothing else. The share was there, and there was no way to see it, let alone remove it. The list is now rendered whatever the directory says; only the control for adding somebody new depends on having somebody to add. So the withdrawn entry points do not strand what they created: a folder or book already shared still offers "Stop sharing", which is the one thing you want when the share is invisible everywhere else. The API was never the problem, which is worth recording since it was the first guess: `shareWith: null` is accepted and clears the map, tested against the live server on the stuck folder, which is now unshared. |

Share files and folders with other people
Calendars and address books have been shareable since JMAP Sharing went
in; Files never was, though Stalwart treats file storage as a first-class
thing to share and ihasmail has carried the types for it all along.
`FilesRights` and `FileNode.shareWith` were already declared -- what was
missing was asking for the property, offering the dialog, and saying so
in the list.
Checked against the live 0.16.19 first, read-only, because building a
picker against a mock that agrees with you proves nothing:
- `FileNode/get` returns `shareWith`, and `myRights` carries all six
rights, `mayShare` among them and true on one's own nodes. So the
menu entry has a real right to gate on -- unlike folder sharing,
which is offered ungated because `MailboxRights` has no such right
- `Principal/query` answers now that `allowDirectoryQueries` is on:
six individuals, no groups
- `ShareNotification/get` is implemented, which is worth knowing for
later; nothing here reads it yet
The editor preset grants read, add files and edit contents, and stops
there. Rename and delete stay with whoever shared the folder: someone
given a folder to work in should not be able to rename the thing they
were given, or delete it out from under the person who shared it. Both
are still there to tick by hand.
One finding is worth a test of its own, and has one. Stalwart answers
`shareWith` as `{}` for a node shared with nobody, not `null` -- every
unshared node in a live account came back that way. A truthiness test on
the property is therefore true for every node the server has ever
returned, and the badge driven by it would report the whole account as
shared while being, technically, about the right property. `isShared`
counts keys, and the test says why.
Verified against the mock end to end: sharing Documents with a principal
as Editor persists `mayRead`, `mayAddChildren` and `mayModifyContent` and
nothing else, the badge appears on that folder and not on the file beside
it, and re-opening the dialog shows the saved rights rather than an empty
form -- which is what proves `fileNodeProps` is really asking for the
property.

Say which property a JMAP SetError rejected
"Send failed: Invalid property or value." is Stalwart's description for invalidProperties, and on its own it says nothing about what to fix. The SetError also carries a `properties` array naming the offending fields, which every call site was discarding. setErrorMessage appends them, and the 35 places that surfaced a SetError - send, save draft, mailboxes, calendars, contacts, sieve, files, signature images, sharing - now go through it. |
