🐰 I hopped through keys and strings today,

Plural forms and RTL led the way,
From English fallback to Arabic art,
Cortex now speaks each language part,
Tiny paws, big multilingual play.

Inaccurate language count: The document states "5 Languages Out-of-the-Box" but the implementation includes 12 language files (en, es, hi, ja, ar, pt, fr, de, it, ru, zh, ko). The documentation should be updated to accurately reflect the actual number of languages provided.

cortex/translations/ru.json-1-147 (1)

1-147: Russian translation is incomplete with many English strings remaining.

The Russian translation follows the same pattern as Italian and German, with approximately 50% of strings still in English. While the pluralization rules are correctly implemented for Russian (line 33 shows proper one/few/other forms), the overall translation is incomplete.

Untranslated strings in common:

  • Line 12: please_wait → should be "Пожалуйста, подождите..."
  • Line 14: next → should be "Далее" or "Следующий"
  • Line 15: exit → should be "Выход"

Entire sections still in English:

  • Lines 21-27: cli section (all 7 keys)
  • Lines 45-51: remove section (all 7 keys)
  • Lines 54-62: search section (all 9 keys)
  • Lines 93-97: prompts section (all 5 keys)
  • Lines 100-106: status section (all 7 keys)
  • Lines 109-114: wizard section (all 6 keys)
  • Lines 117-123: history section (all 7 keys)
  • Lines 141-145: demo section (all 5 keys)

Positive note: The Russian pluralization is correctly implemented with one/few/other forms (line 33), showing that language-specific rules were considered.

cortex/translations/it.json-1-147 (1)

1-147: Italian translation is incomplete with many English strings remaining.

The Italian translation file has significant portions still in English, which will result in a poor user experience for Italian speakers. Major untranslated sections include:

Untranslated strings in common:

  • Line 12: please_wait → should be "Attendere..." or "Per favore, attendi..."
  • Line 14: next → should be "Avanti" or "Successivo"
  • Line 15: exit → should be "Esci" or "Uscita"

Entire sections still in English:

  • Lines 21-27: cli section (help, version, verbose, quiet, dry_run, force, output_format)
  • Lines 45-51: remove section (prompt, removing, success, failed, not_installed, dry_run, requires_confirmation)
  • Lines 54-62: search section (all keys)
  • Lines 93-97: prompts section (all keys)
  • Lines 100-106: status section (all keys)
  • Lines 109-114: wizard section (all keys)
  • Lines 117-123: history section (all keys)
  • Lines 141-145: demo section (all keys)

Partial translations in other sections:

  • Lines 69-70: config.saved, config.reset
  • Lines 78, 83, 85-86: Several errors keys

This contradicts the PR's claim of supporting 12 complete languages and being production-ready.

Would you like me to generate a complete Italian translation for the missing sections, or should this be completed before merging the PR?

cortex/translations/de.json-1-147 (1)

1-147: German translation is incomplete with many English strings remaining.

The German translation file has the same pattern of incomplete translation as the Italian file, with approximately 50% of strings still in English.

Untranslated strings in common:

  • Line 12: please_wait → should be "Bitte warten..."
  • Line 14: next → should be "Weiter" or "Nächste"
  • Line 15: exit → should be "Beenden" or "Verlassen"

Entire sections still in English:

  • Lines 21-27: cli section (help, version, verbose, quiet, dry_run, force, output_format)
  • Lines 45-51: remove section (all keys)
  • Lines 54-62: search section (all keys)
  • Lines 93-97: prompts section (all keys)
  • Lines 100-106: status section (all keys)
  • Lines 109-114: wizard section (all keys)
  • Lines 117-123: history section (all keys)
  • Lines 141-145: demo section (all keys)

Partial translations:

  • Lines 69-70: config.saved, config.reset
  • Lines 78, 83, 85-86: Several errors keys

This represents a systematic issue across multiple language files in this PR.

Would you like me to generate complete German translations for these missing sections?

I18N_TEST_REPORT.md-1-177 (1)

1-177: Test report validates only 5 languages despite PR claiming 12-language support.

The test report explicitly documents testing only 5 languages (English, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi), while the Git commit title claims "comprehensive multi-language support for 12 languages." The repository contains 10 translation files (ar, de, en, es, hi, it, ja, ko, ru, zh), but the test suite only validates:

  • ✓ English (en.json)
  • ✓ Spanish (es.json)
  • ✓ Japanese (ja.json)
  • ✓ Arabic (ar.json)
  • ✓ Hindi (hi.json)

Not explicitly tested in the documented test results:

  • German (de.json)
  • Italian (it.json)
  • Russian (ru.json)
  • Korean (ko.json)
  • Chinese (zh.json)

The test report states it supports "5 languages" and "35/35 tests passed," but this coverage gap means untested languages may have issues (including incomplete or incorrect translations in the non-English files).

Expand test coverage to validate all 10 language files before marking as production-ready.

I18N_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md-11-11 (1)

11-11: Documentation inconsistency: Language count mismatch.

The document states "7 languages out-of-the-box" but the PR objectives clearly indicate support for 12 languages: English, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, Arabic, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese (Simplified), and Korean. This inconsistency appears throughout the document (lines 11, 54-66, 243-251, 525).

Please update the documentation to accurately reflect the actual number of supported languages and their completion status.

PR_DESCRIPTION.md-15-15 (1)

15-15: Language count inconsistency with PR objectives.

The document claims "7 Languages Supported Out-of-the-Box" (line 15) and the translation statistics (lines 393-399) show 5 complete + 2 pending languages. However, the PR objectives clearly state 12 languages are supported. Please reconcile this discrepancy across all documentation files.

Also applies to: 393-399

I18N_DELIVERABLES_INDEX.md-313-384 (1)

313-384: Language count inconsistency in translation files section.

Similar to I18N_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md, this document lists only 5 complete translation files (en.json, es.json, hi.json, ja.json, ar.json) but the PR objectives state 12 languages are supported. The additional 7 language files (pt.json, fr.json, de.json, it.json, ru.json, zh.json, ko.json) mentioned in the PR summary are not documented here.

I18N_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md-243-251 (1)

243-251: Update language coverage table to match PR scope.

The coverage table lists only 5 complete languages (English, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, Arabic) with 2 pending (Portuguese, French), but doesn't mention the additional 5 languages stated in the PR objectives (German, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Korean).

cortex/i18n/language_manager.py-156-192 (1)

156-192: Deprecated function usage: locale.getdefaultlocale().

Line 165 uses locale.getdefaultlocale(), which is deprecated as of Python 3.11 and will be removed in Python 3.15. The coding guidelines specify Python 3.10+ as the minimum version, so this will cause issues for users on Python 3.11+.

Recommended fix using locale.getlocale()
 def get_system_language(self) -> Optional[str]:
     """
     Extract language from system locale settings.
     
     Returns:
         Language code if detected, None otherwise
     """
     try:
         # Get system locale
-        system_locale, _ = locale.getdefaultlocale()
+        system_locale, _ = locale.getlocale()
         
         if not system_locale:
             logger.debug("Could not determine system locale")
             return None

Note: locale.getlocale() returns the current locale settings. If you need to detect the user's preferred locale (rather than the currently set locale), consider using locale.getdefaultlocale() for Python <3.11 and locale.getlocale() for Python ≥3.11, or use environment variables like LANG directly.

scripts/validate_translations.py-187-221 (1)

187-221: Move import to module level and improve placeholder parsing.

Line 199 imports re inside the method, which violates PEP 8 guidelines. Additionally, the placeholder parsing logic (lines 206-207) that splits on commas could incorrectly handle complex placeholder syntax if commas appear in other contexts.

Recommended improvements

cortex/i18n/pluralization.py-14-43 (1)

14-43: Fix Arabic pluralization rule to use modulo operations per CLDR standard.

The implementation uses direct range checks instead of the CLDR-required modulo operations. Arabic plural rules must evaluate n % 100 (the last two digits):

  • "few": n % 100 in 3..10
  • "many": n % 100 in 11..99

Current code treats all numbers 11–99 as "many", but numbers ≥ 100 like 103 and 111 are incorrectly categorized as "other" instead of "few" and "many" respectively.

I18N_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md-963-983 (1)

963-983: Remove or update dependency references inconsistent with implementation.

This section lists python-i18n>=0.3.9 as a dependency and provides installation instructions for it. However, the actual implementation uses stdlib only with zero external dependencies.

This planning document should be updated to either:

  1. Note that the original plan used python-i18n but the implementation took a different approach, or
  2. Remove the dependency references entirely to avoid confusion
I18N_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md-9-21 (1)

9-21: Update architecture description - implementation uses stdlib, not python-i18n.

Line 11 states "This proposal introduces python-i18n as the core i18n framework," but the PR summary explicitly notes "Zero external dependencies (stdlib only)." This is a significant architectural difference between the plan and the actual implementation.

Consider updating this section to reflect that the implementation uses a custom stdlib-based solution rather than the python-i18n library.

I18N_QUICK_REFERENCE.md-309-320 (1)

309-320: Language support table is incomplete and inconsistent with PR contents.

The supported languages table (lines 311-319) lists only 7 languages and doesn't reflect the actual translation files added in this PR:

Documented in table:

  • en, es, hi, ja, ar (marked complete)
  • pt, fr (marked needed)

Files added in PR but not documented:

  • de.json (German)
  • it.json (Italian)
  • ru.json (Russian)
  • ko.json (Korean - mentioned in PR description)
  • zh.json (Chinese - mentioned in PR description)

Additionally, the table marks German, Italian, and Russian as not present, but these files exist in the PR (albeit with incomplete translations).

103-147: Fix docstring inconsistency and consider using csv.writer.

The docstring on line 107 mentions a suggested_placeholder column, but the actual CSV header on line 128 only includes key,namespace. Update the docstring to match the implementation.

🧹 Nitpick comments (6)
cortex/i18n/pluralization.py (1)

80-102: Consider handling edge cases for count parameter.

The get_plural_form method accepts count: int but doesn't handle edge cases:

  • Negative numbers (e.g., -5)
  • Zero for languages that don't have a "zero" form
  • Very large numbers

While these may be rare in typical usage, explicit handling or documentation would improve robustness.

108-110: Weak pluralization detection logic.

Line 108 checks if "{" in message and "plural" in message: to detect pluralization syntax. This could produce false positives if:

  • The message contains braces for other purposes

  • Messages with multiple variables, one of which happens to be named "plural"

Consider a more specific pattern match or structured format.

11-11: Clarify external dependency status upfront.

Line 11 mentions using "python-i18n approach" which could be misinterpreted as using the python-i18n library. Line 575 clarifies "No new external dependencies!" and line 584 mentions python-i18n is optional. This clarification should come earlier in the document to avoid confusion.

190-204: LGTM! Consider thread safety if needed.

The singleton pattern is correctly implemented with lazy initialization. For a CLI application, this implementation is appropriate.

If the application becomes multi-threaded in the future, consider adding thread safety using threading.Lock() to prevent race conditions during initialization.

I18N_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md (2)

1-6: Update target languages to reflect actual implementation.

Line 5 lists 7 target languages, but the PR summary indicates 12 languages were actually implemented (adding German, Italian, Russian, Chinese Simplified, and Korean). Consider updating this planning document to reflect the actual implementation scope.


1078-1085: Optional: Fix markdown style issues for cleaner linting.

The markdown linter flagged several style issues:

  • Lines 1080-1084: Bare URLs should be wrapped in angle brackets (e.g., <https://...>) or formatted as links
  • Multiple code blocks throughout the document are missing language specifiers (e.g., lines 25, 674, 691, 707, 967, 989)

These don't affect functionality but would clean up linting warnings.

🔇 Additional comments (14)
cortex/translations/ar.json (1)

1-151: Arabic translation file looks complete and well-structured.

The translation catalog includes all required namespaces, preserves placeholders correctly (e.g., {package}, {count}, {query}), and includes proper pluralization forms. RTL handling for Arabic is correctly documented to be automatic.

cortex/translations/en.json (1)

1-151: English source catalog is well-structured.

The baseline translation file includes comprehensive coverage across all namespaces with consistent placeholder syntax and proper ICU pluralization patterns. This serves as a solid reference for other language translations.

cortex/translations/ja.json (1)

1-151: Japanese translation file is complete and consistent.

All keys are translated, placeholders are preserved correctly, and the structure matches the English reference catalog. The translations appear comprehensive with no English fallback text.

I18N_LANGUAGE_SUPPORT.md (1)

1-55: Language support documentation is accurate and well-organized.

The documentation correctly lists all 12 supported languages with appropriate metadata (language codes, native names, RTL flags, completion status) and includes helpful usage examples.

cortex/translations/hi.json (1)

1-151: Hindi translation file is complete and accurate.

All keys are properly translated using Devanagari script, placeholders are preserved correctly, and the structure is consistent with the English reference. The translation appears comprehensive.

cortex/translations/es.json (1)

1-151: Spanish translation looks complete and well-executed.

The Spanish translation file appears comprehensive with all 14 namespaces properly translated, placeholders preserved, and natural Spanish grammar throughout.

README_I18N.md (1)

9-20: Documentation claims 5 languages, but PR title claims 12 languages.

This README accurately documents "5 Languages Out-of-the-Box" (line 13) and "Languages Supported | 5 complete + 2 templates" (line 202), which aligns with the actual complete translations (en, es, hi, ja, ar).

However, this creates an inconsistency with:

  • PR title: "Add comprehensive multi-language support for 12 languages"
  • PR description: Lists 12 languages including German, Italian, Russian, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese, French

The documentation here is more accurate than the PR title. Consider either:

  1. Updating the PR title to reflect 5 complete languages (+ 7 in progress), or
  2. Completing the remaining 7 translations before merge
cortex/i18n/__init__.py (1)

1-25: LGTM! Clean package initialization.

The __init__.py file properly exposes the public API with clear exports, appropriate docstrings, and semantic versioning. The structure follows Python best practices for package initialization.

cortex/i18n/translator.py (2)

54-84: Good fallback chain implementation.

The translation lookup with graceful fallback to English and finally to a placeholder key is well-designed. This ensures the application won't crash on missing translations while providing clear debugging information through logging.


231-300: Pluralization parser complexity and brittleness requires verification.

The _parse_pluralization method (lines 231-300) implements a manual brace-matching parser that is complex (~70 lines of nested conditions) and brittle (relies on string positions and character-by-character scanning). The implementation explicitly handles only "one" and "other" plural forms.

To confirm whether this limitation impacts Arabic (6 forms) and Russian (3 forms) support as suggested, verification is needed:

  1. Check if PluralRules class exists and supports all required language forms
  2. Determine if PluralRules is integrated with this method
  3. Review language support requirements and test cases for Arabic and Russian

Consider refactoring to:

  • Integrate with an existing PluralRules implementation if available
  • Use a regex-based parser with proper grammar
  • Leverage an existing ICU MessageFormat library
PR_DESCRIPTION.md (1)

9-23: Comprehensive and well-structured PR description.

The PR description is thorough, well-organized, and provides clear examples for different audiences (users, developers, translators). The feature list, usage examples, and migration guide are particularly helpful.

cortex/i18n/language_manager.py (1)

136-144: Verify PreferencesManager API compatibility.

Lines 138-139 use getattr(prefs, "language", "") to access the language preference. This assumes the PreferencesManager returns an object with attribute-style access. Please ensure this is consistent with the actual PreferencesManager implementation in the codebase.

scripts/validate_translations.py (1)

239-239: Verify default translations directory path.

Line 239 constructs the default path as Path(__file__).parent.parent / "cortex" / "translations". This assumes the script is in a scripts/ directory at the repository root. Please verify this path works correctly when the script is executed from different working directories or when installed as a package.

cortex/i18n/fallback_handler.py (1)

76-101: LGTM! Good defensive programming.

The getter methods are well-implemented. Returning a copy of the set in get_missing_translations() is a good defensive practice that prevents external modification of internal state.

In cortex/translations/ru.json around lines 20 to 107, many keys are still in
English; translate the listed untranslated keys into Russian preserving
placeholders and ICU plural forms exactly (cli: help, version, verbose, quiet,
dry_run, force, output_format; remove: prompt, removing, success, failed,
not_installed, dry_run, requires_confirmation; search: prompt, searching, found,
not_found, results, installed, available, description, version; config: saved,
reset; errors: permission, parse_error, operation_failed, unexpected; prompts:
confirm_install, confirm_remove, select_version, enter_api_key, confirm_dry_run;
status: checking, detected_os, detected_arch, hardware_info, checking_updates,
up_to_date, updates_available). Use natural Russian, keep placeholders like
{package}, {count}, {query}, {os}, etc., and maintain punctuation/formatting
consistent with other translations.

- Replace unsafe /tmp directory with user-specific secure temp directory
- Use tempfile.gettempdir() + os.getuid() for secure path
- Set directory permissions to 0o700 (owner-only access)
- Set file permissions to 0o600 (owner read/write only)
- Prevents symlink attacks and unauthorized file access
- Addresses SonarQube Security Hotspot
