catalog() joined the requested language code straight into the UI and
content catalogue paths, and read_catalog logged those paths. Both the
negotiated Accept-Language code and the /<lang>/ route only ever pass
supported codes, but that guarantee lived in the callers, so CodeQL
reported path injection and log injection on the request value.
catalog() now resolves the code through a table of the supported
languages and builds the file names from the table's value, so an
unsupported code returns an empty catalogue and never becomes a path.
A unit test holds "../content/de" to that without reading any file,
and the translate_tree fixture moves from the made-up code "xx" to "de"
because unsupported codes now translate to English by design.

name and title were translated at render time but never machine-filled,
on the grounds that no backend tells the menu label "Pictures" from the
brand "Mastodon". That left the visible half of a card in English. They
are filled now, and the two key sets collapse into one.
The brands need somewhere to be named instead. app/i18n/keep.txt lists
them, one per line, and every entry is stored as itself in every target
language: no request, and never over an entry written by hand. --keep adds
one-off strings, --keep-file points elsewhere.
The shipped list holds the 43 product names that appear as name: or title:
in config.sample.yaml. Generic labels — Pictures, Imprint, Settings,
Certificates — are deliberately absent, and so are Cybermaster, Polymath
and Yachtmaster, which read as brand or as job title depending on who is
asking.
Two of these behaviours first shipped unguarded. A test that protected a
string and asserted the hand-written value survived passed either way,
because a run where nothing is missing reports "complete" and never
writes; and nothing exercised main(), so the keep file could stop being
read without a failure. Both are covered.

The table was thirty languages typed by hand. It is now generated:
utils/generate_languages.py takes the 184 alpha-2 codes from pycountry,
the display names from CLDR through babel, and the writing direction from
CLDR character order. 159 languages carry their endonym; the remaining 25
have no CLDR entry and carry their English ISO name.
That corrects the right-to-left set, which had four entries and needs ten
— dv, ks, ps, sd, ug and yi were simply missed.
Only 29 languages ship an interface catalogue, so the other 155 render in
English until one is filled. make i18n-ui fills app/i18n/ui/ for them, and
make i18n now covers the interface strings as well; neither asks for a
string a shipped catalogue already answers, so hand-written entries stay.
184 entries do not fit on a screen, so the language menu scrolls inside
itself. overscroll-behavior keeps the page behind it from moving once the
list reaches its end.
babel and pycountry are dev dependencies: the generator needs them, the
application does not.

The interface ships translated; page content stays English until a
LibreTranslate instance fills app/i18n/content/ through make i18n. A string
without a catalogue entry falls back to its English source, so a half-filled
catalogue degrades instead of breaking.
Translation runs after ConfigurationResolver.resolve_links(), on a copy.
resolve_links matches by the `name` field, so translating it beforehand
would break every `link:` reference in the configuration.
negotiate() normalises to the primary subtag itself. Werkzeug's best_match
returns an exact match before it considers a primary-tag fallback, so the
Chrome default `de-DE,en;q=0.8` resolves to English there. "/" carries
Vary: Accept-Language, without which a shared cache pins the first
visitor's language for everyone.
The route rule lists the known codes as a converter argument. A bare
"/<lang>/" answers /robots.txt and /favicon.ico with a permanently
cacheable 308 to their trailing-slash form.
Templates gain lang, dir, the RTL stylesheet, a canonical URL and 30
hreflang alternates. Those are the first external URLs in this app:
ProxyFix takes the scheme from X-Forwarded-Proto so they do not claim
http:// behind a TLS-terminating proxy, X-Forwarded-Host stays untrusted
because nginx passes a client-supplied one through, and TRUSTED_HOSTS lets
Flask reject a forged Host outright.
Flask only autoescapes .html/.htm/.xml/.xhtml/.svg, so every *.html.j2
template interpolated configuration raw. Enabling it changes two lines of
the shipped page, both an apostrophe.
read_catalog degrades an unreadable catalogue to English rather than
serving a 500, and drops non-string entries that would otherwise render as
"42". i18n_sync writes atomically, never overwrites an existing entry,
refuses to touch a catalogue it could not parse, and leaves the file alone
when a run translated nothing.
