Translation review notes (AI drafts → native review)

Native speaker? If you can confirm or correct any item below for your language, please reply in the translate discussion — one-word fixes are welcome and quick to apply. New to translating? Start with the translating guide.

ru + T1 (de/fr/es/nl/it/pt) are AI-generated drafts. Structure is machine-verified (full key parity, placeholder parity, plural shapes, markup — all pass npm run check:i18n) and a semantic QA pass found no English-leakage in any locale. The items below are the QA's flagged judgment-calls for a native speaker to confirm/apply. Two objective fixes were already applied in-tree (de "fan speed"→Saugkraft ×4; pt relative.months_ago non-word mes→mês).

Verdicts: de = usable_with_fixes (now good after the fan-speed fix); all others = good_draft.

card_editor.* keys — translated: the card_editor.* namespace (5 keys — vacuum_label, pick_vacuum, language_label, language_auto, language_hint, the Lovelace visual config editor's labels) is now carried, fully translated, in all 7 locales (de/es/fr/it/nl/pt/ru) — it no longer falls back to English. Confirm the phrasings when reviewing each locale (low priority — config-time surface; the language option labels are already native, e.g. "Deutsch (Entwurf)"). The canonical English source is en.reference.jsonc.

mapping_review.* keys — retired: the Map Bounds Review view was removed in the mapping split (room tracking now runs off the device native current-room signal), so the mapping_review.* strings still sitting in the bundles are dead and pending the batch i18n prune. Skip any mapping_review.* item struck through below — no native review is needed for strings that no longer render.

ru (Russian — pilot, live native review)

  • learning.queue_missed_rooms — lost the imperative verb, reads as a fragment. → e.g. "Добавить пропущенные комнаты в очередь".
  • maintenance.stat_total_cleaned — blurs the "area in m²" sense vs stat_cleans. → e.g. "Убранная площадь".
  • learning.minutes_left, rooms.remaining_left — pill word order; "осталось ~{x}" reads more naturally than "~{x} осталось". (verify pill width)
  • map.zone_clean_n — plain string, {count} 1–5; "Очистить 1 зон" is wrong agreement. Confirm the count range; if 1–4 reachable, convert to a plural object.
  • Plural agreement to verify: learning.incomplete_title (few form), rooms.n_blocked/n_included. (~~mapping_review.badge_n_excluded — elided-noun gender, pick исключён/исключена by referent~~ — retired, see note above.)

de (German)

  • ~~mapping_review.baseline — "Grundlinie" reads as a chart baseline; sense is the protected anchor/oldest run. → "Referenzlauf" / "Basislauf".~~ (retired — see note above.)
  • maintenance.due_in_months, due_in_weeks — only an {other} form; if count=1 is reachable add a {one} ("~1 Monat" / "~1 Woche").

fr (French)

  • external_jobs.blocked — "re-choisissez" non-idiomatic. → "choisissez à nouveau".
  • map.compose_cutout_on — "(en cours)" reads as a busy/loading state; intended is the active carving MODE. → "(active)".

es (Spanish)

  • room_editor.mopstate_mopping — "Mopeando" is an anglicism. → "Fregando".
  • learning.done_by, room_estimate.subtitle_done_by — "listo para las {time}" leans "ready for"; sense is projected finish-by. → "terminará para las {time}".
  • learning.note_runs_to_reliable — loses the "more/additional runs" nuance. → "{count} limpiezas más para que sea fiable".

nl (Dutch)

  • maintenance.due_today, due_tomorrow — "verschuldigd" = owed (money); wrong for a due task. → "Vervalt vandaag/morgen" or "Vandaag/Morgen te doen".
  • metrics.battery_drain_subtitle — doubled word ("per-categorie-categorieën").
  • rooms.reduced_run_detected — "Verkleinde run" = shrunk in size; sense is fewer rooms than queued. → "Beperkte run gedetecteerd".

it (Italian)

  • learning.done_at — "Finito alle" reads past; sense is projected per-room finish. → "Fine prevista alle {time}".
  • learning.cleaning_room — "Pulizia di {room}" is a noun phrase; sense is the live status. → "Pulizia di {room} in corso".
  • map.compose_split — "Separa" loses the "split into its own room" sense. → "Dividi" / "Scorpora".
  • Add {one} forms for count=1 agreement (only {other} shipped): maintenance.due_in_weeks/due_in_months, external_jobs.segments_merged, base_station.recorded_count, rooms.n_blocked/n_included. (~~mapping_review.badge_n_excluded — also verify masc/fem referent~~ — retired, see note above.)

pt (Portuguese)

  • (relative.months_ago non-word already fixed.) Minor register: setup.* "defina por favor" word order; external_jobs.detected_rooms one-form slightly long.

Second-model cross-review (2026-06-26)

A second model reviewed all 7 — nothing broken. Applied in-tree from its list: - de: Kunst→Grafik across all 9 furnished keys ("Kunst" = artwork, wrong for an uploaded map graphic); external_jobs.mode_vacuum_mop "Saug. & Wisch."→"Saugen & Wischen"; learning.chip_vacuum_mop→"{count} Saug- und Wischraum / -räume"; maintenance.dock_fw "Fw"→"FW"; map.furnished_art_alt→"Eingerichteter Grundriss"; map.backdrop_image_hint "bemalt"→"überzeichnet"; bind_map.could_not_save_map_image "auf der Karte"→"auf dem Kartenbild". - nl: Kunst/kunst→Afbeelding/afbeelding across all 9 furnished keys (same artwork issue).

Deferred (dialect / native-judgment — the second model itself hedged; for the native reviewers): - es: verb+noun clash in the vacuum+mop mode/chip labels ("Aspirar y mopa", "… aspirar + mopa") — pick a consistent dialect form (e.g. "Aspirar y fregar" / "Aspirado + mopa" / "Aspirar + pasar mopa"). Also the earlier room_editor.mopstate_mopping "Mopeando"→"Fregando". - fr: over-abbreviated mode/chip ("Asp. & serp.") — spell out unless the chip is truly tiny ("Aspi. + serpillière" / "Asp. + lavage"). - it: English "mop" leaks ("Asciuga mop", "Lava mop", "aspira + mop") — more native = "panno" / "panno lavapavimenti" / "lavaggio" (acceptable for tech users). - ru: literal "швабру" (mop) in dock actions — a native may prefer "салфетку" / "моп" / "моющую насадку" per common robovac phrasing. - pt: reads European Portuguese (divisão, guardar, aplicação, mopa), NOT truly region-neutral. Fine as pt; add a pt-BR later if Brazilian users care (keep this as pt-PT-ish). - all locales: the "save image on the map" family reads slightly odd everywhere — better phrased as "right-click the map image and choose Save image" (rephrase per language).

Post-pattern-fix: new keys (setup.floor_ / setup.step_), translated

The render review found data-literal UI strings that bypassed t() (floor types + setup-step headings); they now route through t() and were AI-translated into all 7 locales. Native-review nuance: - setup.step_add_vacuum rendered with the plain vacuum term per locale. de aligned to "Saugroboter hinzufügen" (de uses "Saugroboter" 30:1 — never the plain "Staubsauger"). fr/es/it/pt also use a "robot"-qualified device term in fuller text (~24×); a native may prefer it in the step heading too, though the plain term matches English's "Add vacuum". nl ("Stofzuiger") + ru ("пылесос") match their locale's dominant plain term — fine. - setup.floor_* are standard native flooring terms (e.g. de Holz/Fliesen/Beton, fr Parquet/Carrelage/Béton, ru Паркетная доска/Плитка/Бетон) — verify against regional convention if a native cares (e.g. pt-PT "alcatifa" vs pt-BR "carpete").
