A reader on an Arabic page saw a handful of English words among the Arabic:
the table's "People Groups" title, its count line, the Engagement column, the
Gospel Access chart title, and the side drawer's close button. Every one of them
had a correct Arabic entry sitting in the catalogue; nothing looked it up.
THE CHECK CAME FIRST, AND IT REPLACES A SWEEP THAT PASSED A BROKEN TREE.
The old method sorted every rendered string into third-party / data / chrome and
counted only chrome. That split is a guess, and it guessed wrong exactly where
the defect lived: single words like "Region", "Prayer" and "Country" are as
plausible as values as they are as labels, so they scored as data and the sweep
reported zero on a page that was visibly leaking.
check:composite-locale-leaks asks a question with an answer instead:
the English catalogue holds this exact string as a value, AND
this locale holds a DIFFERENT value for that key, AND
the page still renders the English one.
No judgement about what kind of word it is — if the translation exists and the
reader is not getting it, that is the defect. The two surfaces a lookup cannot
judge (vendor map chrome, and table/facet cells carrying API values) are muted
by NAME with a stated reason, never by word, so muting one can never hide the
next real leak that happens to reuse it. The gate failed on this tree naming 9
strings before any of them were fixed.
Also threaded here: both composites now accept `lang` / `locale` in
profile-config and pass it to the children they mount, alongside `tk` and
`provider`. A partner writing {"lang":"ar"} reached nothing before — the knob
was documented and read by nobody.
The prayer facet's label in DashboardResearchFilters is now a catalogue getter
too. Measured before touching it: dashboard.config.js does define prayer_level
and FACETS spreads the config last, so that literal never rendered for this
config — it is a default for a config that omits the facet, and it stays, with
the merge order written down so the next reader need not re-derive it.
Four strings remain English with no catalogue entry at all — "Top countries",
"Select all {n}", the table dock's title, and the singular "group". They need
wording in ten languages that cannot be composed from existing entries, so they
are a DECIDE card for the Driver rather than translations invented here.
