# Internationalization

The **host** builder UI is localized into 10 languages. (This is separate from the per-app translation overlay that translates generated-app *content*.)

## Supported languages

Chinese, English, Arabic (full RTL), Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean.

## Where strings live

Host UI strings live in `app/src/main/java/br/com/drukstech/codeapp/core/i18n/Strings.kt`, split across the `Strings` / `StringsA` … `StringsE` objects (all in that one file).

## Adding a user-facing string

1. Add the property on the correct `Strings*` split object, matching the surrounding style.
2. Provide **all 10 languages.** A new host string without full coverage is incomplete.
3. Reference it from Compose/UI the same way neighboring code does.

```kotlin
// Illustrative — match the actual split-object style in Strings.kt
val myNewLabel: String
    get() = when (Strings.lang) {
        AppLanguage.CHINESE -> "我的标签"
        AppLanguage.ENGLISH -> "My label"
        AppLanguage.ARABIC -> "..."
        // ... all 10, never `else`
    }
```

## Rules

- Prefer adding properties on the **existing split objects**; don't create new localization mechanisms.
- Arabic must be full RTL — verify layout mirrors correctly.
- Do not hard-code user-facing text in Compose screens; always route through `Strings`.
