Localization Notes
- English is the fallback — If a localization string is missing for your selected language, English text is displayed.
- LLM responses remain in English — The AI chat assistant communicates in English regardless of the UI language, as the language models are trained primarily in English.
- Runtime switching — The language change applies instantly and affects all menu items, buttons, labels, and dialogs.
- Apple String Catalogs — Localization uses Apple's modern String Catalog format (.xcstrings).
