App Store metadata in Traditional Chinese and Japanese - #60
Merged
Conversation
String Catalogs (app, widgets, InfoPlist) with English text as the key; every user-visible sheet, alert, menu, notification, guide, FAQ and release-note string goes through String(localized:), while the TALLY micro chrome (DONE, ESC, LIVE, telemetry) stays English by design. Language is chosen per app in Settings.app; Multiplex Settings gains a LANGUAGE row that deep-links there. `./Tools/build.sh strings` folds the build's .stringsdata into the catalogs (the IDE-only sync step); StringCatalogTests fails when a key lacks a zh-Hant or ja value. Integer interpolations that must not be locale-grouped (ports, line numbers) interpolate String(...). Every translated row is needs_review pending a native pass; zh-Hant was linted with zhtw-mcp. Decisions and glossary: docs/agents/i18n.md.
fastlane/metadata/zh-Hant and ja mirror every en-US file (name, subtitle, promo, keywords, both platform descriptions and release notes, TestFlight description, URLs). Tools/metadata_limits.rb gains per-locale Unicode script ranges so the checker accepts CJK copy by block while en-US and the changelog stay glyph-strict; check-metadata.rb now recognises script-tagged locale directories (zh-Hant).
No spaces between full- and half-width characters, full-width colons, no spaces around slashes/brackets, spaced em dashes; textlint is now the recorded ja lint step in docs/agents/i18n.md.
ReleaseNotes.swift reverts to plain literals; its 93 catalog keys are gone. Versioned copy is rewritten every release, so the per-release translation pass buys little — the App Store release notes are localized instead.

Summary
fastlane/metadata/zh-Hant/andfastlane/metadata/ja/mirror every en-US file: name, subtitle, promotional text, keywords,description_{ios,visionos},release_notes_{ios,visionos}(1.3.1),beta_app_description, URLs. Same glossary as the app (docs/agents/i18n.md); zh-Hant linted withzhtw-mcp(the remaining 連接 hits are the deliberate attach term; 幕前調度 is Apple's Stage Manager).Tools/metadata_limits.rb:SCRIPT_RANGES+allowed_character?— CJK copy is accepted by Unicode block per locale (ideographs, kana, bopomofo, CJK punctuation, full-width forms); en-US andtestflight-whats-new.txtstay glyph-strict.Tools/check-metadata.rb: passes the locale into the character check and recognises script-tagged directories (zh-Hant), which the oldxx-YYregex silently skipped.release-and-metadata.mdrecords the mirror duty.ruby Tools/check-metadata.rb→ OK (all fields under cap; keywords 83/87 of 100).
