Complete missing and inconsistent Swahili translations

[comwanga]

Summary

Testing translations/swahili.json on BTCPay Server v2.4.0 revealed untranslated English text, mixed English/Swahili sentences, missing dynamic strings and case-sensitive key mismatches.

Affected areas

Missing or untranslated strings were found in:

• Reports and debug pages
• Payout status tabs
• Invoice, payment-request and wallet date filters
• Store users and role names
• Role permission descriptions
• Wallet transaction empty states
• Email configuration

Examples include:

• Create fake data
• Report: Invoices
• Raw data
• No data
• Awaiting Approval
• Awaiting Payment
• In Progress
• Cancelled
• Today, Yesterday, This week, Last month
• Owner, Manager, Employee, Guest
• There are no transactions yet.
• Use mailpit

Some existing translations—including Active, Expired, Completed and Name—still appear in English in certain components. This may indicate stale translation data or a separate client-side localization path.

There is also a case mismatch between the existing Custom Range key and the UI string Custom range.

Native browser labels such as Choose file and No file chosen are not controlled by the BTCPay language pack.

Proposed work

• Compare the live English strings from /cheat/translations/default-en with swahili.json
• Add and translate missing keys
• Fix mixed or incomplete Swahili translations
• Audit the rest of the file for English fallbacks and inconsistent terminology
• Preserve placeholders, HTML and technical terms
• Validate the JSON and retest the affected pages

Acceptance criteria

• No unexplained English fallbacks or mixed-language sentences
• Consistent translations for statuses, roles and permissions
• Valid JSON with intact placeholders and markup
• Upstream or browser-controlled strings documented separately
