## Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Frontend i18n System
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `client/src/lib/i18n.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Features**:
|
||||
- ✅ Three languages: English (en), Dutch (nl), Arabic (ar)
|
||||
- ✅ 33 translation keys per language
|
||||
- ✅ Auto-detection from browser locale
|
||||
- ✅ Persistent user preference (localStorage)
|
||||
- ✅ RTL support for Arabic
|
||||
- ✅ Type-safe translation keys
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Files**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
client/src/
|
||||
├── lib/
|
||||
│ └── i18n.ts # Translation strings + utilities
|
||||
├── hooks/
|
||||
│ └── useI18n.ts # React hook for translations
|
||||
└── components/
|
||||
└── deploy/
|
||||
└── LanguageSelector.tsx # Language switcher UI (NL/AR/EN)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Translation Coverage**:
|
||||
- Form labels and placeholders
|
||||
- Validation messages
|
||||
- Deployment status messages
|
||||
- Success/error screens
|
||||
- UI buttons and actions
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Translation**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
en: {
|
||||
title: 'AI Stack Deployer',
|
||||
subtitle: 'Deploy your personal AI assistant in seconds',
|
||||
deployBtn: 'Deploy My AI Stack',
|
||||
// ... 30 more keys
|
||||
}
|
||||
nl: {
|
||||
title: 'AI Stack Deployer',
|
||||
subtitle: 'Implementeer je persoonlijke AI in seconden',
|
||||
deployBtn: 'Implementeer Mijn AI Stack',
|
||||
// ... 30 more keys
|
||||
}
|
||||
ar: {
|
||||
title: 'AI Stack Deployer',
|
||||
subtitle: 'انشر مساعد البرمجة الذكي الخاص بك في ثوانٍ',
|
||||
deployBtn: 'انشر مشروعي',
|
||||
// ... 30 more keys
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Backend i18n System
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `src/lib/i18n-backend.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Features**:
|
||||
- ✅ Deployment progress messages in 3 languages
|
||||
- ✅ Receives language preference from frontend
|
||||
- ✅ Sends localized SSE events during deployment
|
||||
- ✅ Factory pattern with `createTranslator()`
|
||||
|
||||
**Translation Keys** (14 keys per language):
|
||||
- `initializing` - "Initializing deployment"
|
||||
- `creatingProject` - "Creating project"
|
||||
- `creatingApplication` - "Creating application"
|
||||
- `waitingForSSL` - "Waiting for SSL certificate..."
|
||||
- `deploymentSuccess` - "Application deployed successfully"
|
||||
- ... and 9 more
|
||||
|
||||
**Integration Points**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// src/orchestrator/production-deployer.ts
|
||||
const t = createTranslator(lang); // lang from request
|
||||
progress.update(50, t('creatingApplication'));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Components Using i18n
|
||||
|
||||
**All deployment components are multilingual**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | File | Purpose |
|
||||
|-----------|------|---------|
|
||||
| DeployPage | `client/src/pages/DeployPage.tsx` | Main page, language state |
|
||||
| DeployForm | `client/src/components/deploy/DeployForm.tsx` | Form with validation |
|
||||
| DeployProgress | `client/src/components/deploy/DeployProgress.tsx` | Progress tracking |
|
||||
| DeploySuccess | `client/src/components/deploy/DeploySuccess.tsx` | Success screen |
|
||||
| DeployError | `client/src/components/deploy/DeployError.tsx` | Error screen |
|
||||
| LanguageSelector | `client/src/components/deploy/LanguageSelector.tsx` | Language switcher |
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage Pattern**:
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const { lang, setLang, t, isRtl } = useI18n();
|
||||
return <h1>{t('title')}</h1>; // Auto-translated
|
||||
```

|
||||
## Technical Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
### Why No Separate Locale Folder?
|
||||
|
||||
**Modern Inline Pattern**: Translations are co-located with code for:
|
||||
- ✅ Better type safety (TypeScript can validate keys)
|
||||
- ✅ Easier refactoring (IDE can track references)
|
||||
- ✅ Simpler imports (no file lookup)
|
||||
- ✅ Reduced bundle size (no extra JSON parsing)
|
||||
|
||||
**Traditional Approach** (NOT used):
|
||||
```
|
||||
locales/
|
||||
├── en.json
|
||||
├── nl.json
|
||||
└── ar.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Approach** (Used):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// All in client/src/lib/i18n.ts
|
||||
export const translations = {
|
||||
en: { ... },
|
||||
nl: { ... },
|
||||
ar: { ... }
|
||||
} as const;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Language Support Details

|
||||
- **Status**: ✅ Complete (default language)
|
||||
- **Coverage**: 100% (33 frontend + 14 backend keys)
|
||||
- **Notes**: Fallback language if translation missing
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Dutch (nl)
|
||||
- **Status**: ✅ Complete
|
||||
- **Coverage**: 100% (33 frontend + 14 backend keys)
|
||||
- **Notes**: Primary target language for Dutch users
|
||||
- **Quality**: Professional translations
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Arabic (ar)

|
||||
|
||||
## Features & Capabilities
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend Features
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Automatic Language Detection**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const browserLang = navigator.language?.split('-')[0];
|
||||
// Auto-selects 'nl' if browser is nl-NL, nl-BE, etc.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Persistent Preference**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
localStorage.setItem('preferredLanguage', 'nl');
|
||||
// Remembered across sessions
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **RTL Support**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
document.documentElement.dir = lang === 'ar' ? 'rtl' : 'ltr';
|
||||
// Entire layout flips for Arabic
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Type Safety**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
type TranslationKey = keyof typeof translations.en;
|
||||
// TypeScript prevents typos in translation keys
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend Features
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Language-Aware Deployment**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
POST /api/deploy
|
||||
{ "name": "john-dev", "lang": "nl" }
|
||||
// Backend sends Dutch progress messages
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **SSE Localized Events**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
event: progress
|
||||
data: {"progress": 50, "currentStep": "Applicatie aanmaken"} // Dutch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## SEO & Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
### HTML Meta Tags (src/frontend/index.html)
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Dutch-First SEO** (commit `897a828`):
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<html lang="en">
|
||||
<meta property="og:locale" content="nl_NL">
|
||||
<title>AI Stack Deployer - Persoonlijke AI Assistent Deployen | FLEXINIT</title>
|
||||
<meta name="description" content="Deploy je persoonlijke AI assistent in seconden...">
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Social Media Previews**:
|
||||
- Open Graph tags (Facebook, LinkedIn)
|
||||
- Twitter Card tags
|
||||
- 1200x630 social preview image (`og-image.png`)
|
||||
- Image alt text in Dutch
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Structured Data**:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"@context": "https://schema.org",
|
||||
"@type": "WebApplication",
|
||||
"name": "AI Stack Deployer",
|
||||
"applicationCategory": "DeveloperApplication"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## Next Steps & Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
### Immediate Actions (Priority 1)
|
||||
|
||||
1. ⚠️ **Clean up deprecated files**
|
||||
- `src/frontend/` is no longer served (React client replaced it)
|
||||
- Consider archiving or deleting old vanilla JS files
|
||||
- Update documentation to reflect React-only architecture
|
||||
|
||||
2. ⚠️ **Add translation tests**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Missing test coverage
|
||||
client/src/lib/__tests__/i18n.test.ts
|
||||
src/lib/__tests__/i18n-backend.test.ts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Future Enhancements (Priority 2)
|
||||
|
||||
3. 📝 **Add more languages**
|
||||
- French (fr) - Belgium market
|
||||
- German (de) - DACH region
|
||||
- Spanish (es) - Global reach
|
||||
|
||||
4. 📝 **Extract translations to JSON** (if team prefers)
|
||||
```
|
||||
client/src/locales/
|
||||
├── en.json
|
||||
├── nl.json
|
||||
└── ar.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. 📝 **Add translation management**
|
||||
- Consider tools like i18next, react-intl
|
||||
- Or maintain current simple system (works great for 3 languages)
|
||||
|
||||
### Documentation Updates (Priority 3)
|
||||
|
||||
6. 📝 **Update CLAUDE.md**
|
||||
- Document i18n system architecture
|
||||
- Add guidelines for adding new translation keys
|
||||
- Explain why no separate locale folder exists
|
||||
|
||||
7. 📝 **Update README.md**
|
||||
- Add "Multilingual Support" section
|
||||
- Show how to add new languages
|
||||
- Document translation contribution process
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
### Summary
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Locale system is COMPLETE and PRODUCTION-READY**
|
||||
|
||||
The AI Stack Deployer has a fully functional internationalization system supporting English, Dutch, and Arabic. The implementation follows modern best practices with:
|
||||
|
||||
- Type-safe translation keys
|
||||
- Automatic language detection
|
||||
- Persistent user preferences
|
||||
- Full RTL support for Arabic
|
||||
- Backend deployment messages in user's language
|
||||
- Professional Dutch translations for SEO
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Status: ✅ OPERATIONAL
|
||||
|
||||
No initialization needed—the locale system is **already deployed and working** in production.
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommendation
|
||||
|
||||
**No action required** unless adding more languages or improving test coverage. The current system handles the core requirement (multilingual support for Dutch/English/Arabic markets) effectively.
