  Twenty languages that do not guess who you are

  Added

  • The plural forms for the fourteen languages that were still missing them —
    616 strings, written by hand. Every language is now at 100%: Arabic with all
    five of its categories including the dual, Polish and Russian with three
    each, and eleven more with their singular.

    This is the thing the base keys could not do. A count of one rendered the
    plural — "1 series", "1 sesji", "1 подходов" — on the screen of anybody who
    trained once in a month, and no test catches a sentence that is merely wrong
    in a language nobody on the team reads.

  • bun i18n:stale, the check the other three could not make: a translation of
    an English string that has since been rewritten. It is a complete, correct
    sentence in the right language, so nothing missing, nothing left in English
    and nothing empty all pass — and what is on screen answers a question that was
    asked a version ago. It reads git: if English moved after a language did, that
    language is behind. An acknowledgement in scripts/i18n-stale-ok.json names
    the English commit it was made against, so a cosmetic rewrite can be signed
    off without silencing the next real one.

  Changed

  • Five strings are back to their natural wording, and on record in
    scripts/i18n-identical.json as legitimately identical to English: the Dutch
    and Turkish singular of a set, and the Italian singular of a file. All three
    languages take the English loanword there, so the honest translation is the
    English word — and padding it out to get past the audit is answering the tool
    rather than the reader. That file exists for exactly this.

  • Every empty screen now speaks in the other eighteen languages. The bin, the
    photographs, the month with nothing in it, the session that recorded no sets,
    the progress screen before the first workout — all of them had been rewritten
    in English and Spanish and left as captions everywhere else, so a character
    drawn on the screen stood over a sentence describing a table. 321 strings
    across eighteen files.

  Fixed

  • Ten languages assumed the reader is a man. English says "you trained" and asks
    nothing about who you are; Arabic, Bengali, French, Greek, Hindi, Italian,
    Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Urdu cannot say it without agreement, and each
    had picked masculine and left it there. Every one is rewritten so the sentence
    no longer needs the agreement — never with a slash, which is a typographic
    apology rather than a fix.

  • The first screen of a new server greeted her as a man. Bem-vindo and
    Benvenuto on the account-creation screen, before there is an account with a
    gender to assume. Spanish had solved this long ago with "Te damos la
    bienvenida"; the other two now do the same, with the agreement on the noun.

  • lastgym bench measured every query on the progress screen except the one
    with a promise attached. The load path — the band the screen draws above
    everything else, and the only thing on it whose closing criterion names a
    number — was not in the list, so the command reported a comfortable total for
    a screen it had not finished timing.

  • The photographs screen blamed a photograph when the connection was what had
    failed. With no network the list never arrives, and the screen said "that
    photograph could not be loaded" — about a picture nobody had asked for yet. It
    now says what is actually true, which is a decision and not an accident:
    photographs live on the server and are never copied to the device, because
    they are fetched with credentials and drawn from a blob URL revoked as soon as
    they are on screen, so nothing of anybody's body lands in a cache on a phone.
    Seeing them needs a connection, and the screen says so.

  • The audit log read backwards in Arabic. Not the words — the direction. The
    screen substituted the two account names into the translation itself instead
    of letting t do it, which skipped the bidi isolates t puts around every
    value, and a Latin username inside an Arabic sentence then dragged the
    punctuation to the wrong side. Rows starting with a name anchored left while
    rows starting with an Arabic word anchored right, in the same list. Six other
    screens were substituting a date, a number or lastgym user the same way; all
    of them go through t now, and a test refuses the second interpolator rather
    than any particular string.

  • Persian and Urdu addressed one reader in two registers. Five strings in
    Persian and nine in Urdu used the formal شما and آپ while the fifty-odd around
    them used تو and تم — the same handful of keys in both files, and the same
    ones Bengali had, so one translation pass carried the register in. On the
    privacy screen the heading and its own first line disagreed.

  • The audit log named a gender for everyone in it. "{actor} opened the account
    {subject}" has no gender in English, and none in Spanish, Portuguese, German,
    Dutch, Hindi or Urdu either — their past tenses do not mark it. Arabic, Polish
    and Russian conjugate it, and Greek was writing "Ο/Η {actor}", the slash this
    work exists to avoid. Those four logs now read as events rather than sentences
    about people: "{actor}: opening of account {subject}". The register was already
    in each file — a refused sign-in has no actor to conjugate, so that one row had
    been written in the passive from the start.

  • Thirty-nine other strings assumed the gender of somebody who is not the
    reader: the coach, the administrator, the account being deleted. German said
    "Er hat keine Möglichkeit" of an administrator it has never met, French asked
    "mon coach a-t-il regardé ?", Urdu had the coach putting a routine in your
    account as a man. English uses singular "they" throughout and the translations
    had not followed.

    Role nouns are deliberately left as they are — Trainer, προπονητής, منتظم. A
    role noun is a language's unmarked word for the job, and the only ways to
    neutralise every one of them are doublets, which is the slash, or coinages
    nobody uses. That is a different question and it is not this one.

  • Arabic put plurals after a hundred. In Arabic 11 and above take the singular,
    so "{days} أيام" was wrong at every number the plural form exists to cover —
    twenty-two strings said "100 days" the way no Arabic speaker writes it.
