Follow-ups to #610. That PR brought all 24 locales to key parity; translating them surfaced defects the catalog could not fix from its own side.

Summary

  • Direction codes reached the UI untranslated. StopBottomSheet, StopPageHeader, SearchPane and FavoritesList each interpolated the raw OBA value, so a Spanish rider saw Dirección: SE while a fully translated direction.* block sat unused in every locale. All four now go through a shared directionLabel().
  • SearchPane hardcoded the English word Code: and joined with ; , which also emitted a leading separator when a stop had no direction. It now shares stopSubtitle() with FavoritesList.
  • Alert dates used the browser's locale. formatActiveWindowLabel built Intl.DateTimeFormat(undefined, …), so the date rendered in the browser's language inside an otherwise translated sentence. It now takes the app locale.
  • Locale data corrections, translated independently twice and adjudicated: am rendered stop as the word for garbage (visible on every stop sheet); ht/tl/fa had a wrong or typo'd unit_imperialtl said "Imperyalismo", the political ideology; and time.sec/secs/minutes were untranslated English in several locales.

Test plan

  • Browser, Spanish: /stops/1_10240 renders "Dirección: Sureste" (was "Dirección: SE"); raw code absent from the page
  • Browser: search result and favorites entry both render "Sureste · Código: 10240" — identical, no undefined, no stray ;
  • formatActiveWindowLabel formats per locale — es "12 mar, 9:30", ja "3月12日 9:30", ar "12 مارس، 9:30 ص"; undefined still falls back to browser default
  • Mutation-checked: reverting any of the three direction lookups fails the suite (these tests previously passed either way)
  • 24 locales still at 258/258 parity; 0 keys lost; exactly 35 intended value changes
  • prettier --check, eslint, and 1899/1899 tests pass

Review notes

An unknown compass code used to degrade better than it does now. direction.* defines only the eight cardinals, and CompassArrow documents that other values can arrive. A naive lookup would render the message id (direction.FOO) — worse than the raw FOO. directionLabel() passes the code as $t's default, so it degrades to itself. Covered by a test.

Known gaps deliberately left out of scope, each worth its own issue:

  • src/lib/dateTimeFormat.js has the same browser-locale bug in utcTimeFormat / localTimeFormat / fourDigitTimeFormat, plus a hardcoded hour12: true. Those cover arrival, itinerary and schedule times — the most-viewed strings in the app. They are module-level singletons frozen at import, so fixing them means a factory plus threading $locale through six components: a different change with a different blast radius. Alert dates are fixed here; arrival times are not.
  • The label colon is hardcoded ASCII in ~17 markup sites ({$t(key)}:). CJK wants , French wants a narrow no-break space. This PR moves the word into the catalog but adds one more instance of the pattern; a punctuation-aware helper is the right fix.
  • service_alerts.close, service_alerts.more_info and trip-planner.itinerary are dead keys — no literal references, and the only dynamic service_alerts.* construction uses severity_/cause_/effect_ prefixes. Removing keys is a different risk profile from correcting them, so not done here.
  • There is no i18n validator. A check for key parity, placeholder parity, and untranslated-English in non-Latin locales would have caught this PR's time.* gaps with zero false positives. It would not have caught stop = "garbage" or "Imperyalismo" — those are wrong translations, not missing ones, and need native review.

Two translation choices flagged rather than settled: pl time.minutes is "min" (Polish needs 1 minuta / 2–4 minuty / 5+ minut; no single string is right without ICU plurals, and min is never ungrammatical), and es/pt now mix invariant min with the pre-existing pluralized segs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Stop subtitles and direction labels are now consistently localized across search, favorites, and stop details.
    • Service-alert active-window dates now follow the selected language and regional date format.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected inaccurate or incomplete translations for time units, distance labels, and stop-related text across multiple languages.
    • Improved fallback formatting for stops without codes.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for localized directions, stop subtitles, and locale-aware service-alert dates.

…er-locale dates

Follow-ups to the 24-locale parity sync (#610), which surfaced defects the
translations could not fix from the catalog side.

Direction codes reached the UI untranslated. StopBottomSheet, StopPageHeader,
SearchPane and FavoritesList each interpolated the raw OBA value, so a Spanish
rider saw "Direccion: SE" while a fully translated direction.* block sat unused.
All four now go through directionLabel(), which passes the code as $t's default
so an unrecognized bearing degrades to itself rather than to a message id --
CompassArrow already documents that codes outside the eight can arrive.

SearchPane hardcoded the English word "Code:" and joined with "; ", which also
produced a leading separator when a stop had no direction. It now shares
stopSubtitle() with FavoritesList, so both lists read identically and a stop
with no code falls back to its id instead of printing "undefined".

Alert date ranges were built with Intl.DateTimeFormat(undefined, ...), so the
date rendered in the browser's locale inside an otherwise translated sentence.
formatActiveWindowLabel now takes the app locale. Note the same defect remains
in dateTimeFormat.js's module-level formatters, which cover arrival and
itinerary times; those are singletons frozen at import and need a separate
change.

Locale data: am rendered "stop" as the word for garbage, visible on every stop
sheet; ht/tl/fa had a typo'd or wrong unit_imperial ("Imperyalismo" is the
political ideology); and time.sec/secs/minutes were untranslated English in
several locales. Translated independently twice and adjudicated; values already
correct for their language (fr "min", sm "minute") were deliberately left alone.

Tests assert the fixes rather than the old behavior: reverting any of the three
direction lookups now fails.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes centralize localized stop labels, apply the active locale to service-alert date formatting, update related tests, and correct translations across ten locale files.

Changes

Stop localization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared stop label helpers
src/lib/utils.js, src/tests/lib/utils.test.js
Added directionLabel and stopSubtitle. Tests cover translations, missing values, and fallbacks.
Stop label integration
src/components/favorites/FavoritesList.svelte, src/components/search/SearchPane.svelte, src/components/stops/*, src/components/stops/__tests__/*
Favorites, search results, and stop headers now use localized direction and subtitle helpers. Component tests expect translated labels.

Service-alert locale formatting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Locale-aware alert dates
src/components/service-alerts/*, src/components/service-alerts/__tests__/*, src/tests/lib/serviceAlerts.test.js
formatActiveWindowLabel accepts a locale. Service-alert components pass the active locale, with tests for explicit and default locale behavior.

Locale string corrections

Layer / File(s) Summary
Localized string updates
src/locales/{am,ar,es,fa,ht,pl,pt,so,tl,vi}.json
Corrected stop, search, time-unit, and imperial-unit translations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c66e7

Arabic relative-time and duration displays may use singular unit labels for plural values. This is a bounded localization correctness issue that should be corrected before or shortly after merge.
