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.
