All user-facing text now lives in Localization/Strings.resx and is looked up with {local:Loc Key} in XAML or Loc.Get in code, following the Windows display language with English as the fallback. The English UI is unchanged.
- Translations compile into the exe instead of satellite assemblies, because Costura doesn't embed the app's own satellites and the app ships as a single file
- Relative time ("in 3 days") picks plural forms per language instead of a fixed singular/plural pair
- Countdown presets that contain words ("{%d} days left") are translatable; theme preset names too
- Docs links drop /en-us so they open in the reader's language
- Tests that assert English text pin the UI language
Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, and Turkish. Regional variants fall back to the closest translation, such as de-AT to German and zh-CN to Simplified Chinese. Tests check every translation for missing or extra keys, changed placeholders or links, one unique access key per label, and the right number of plural forms. Another test makes sure every key used in XAML or code exists. Closes #160

The app now follows the Windows display language. It includes translations for Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, and Turkish. Regional variants use the closest translation (de-AT gets German, zh-CN gets Simplified Chinese), and anything else falls back to English:
