A /watch link is opened by whoever it was sent to — signed out, often on a phone on mobile data —
and it booted through main.tsx: every app provider, the app's i18n (every locale of every area),
the flag sprites, ~392 KB gzip before the player could start. It now has its own HTML entry,
watch.html → watchMain.tsx, which imports WatchPage and what it renders; the server hands every
/watch/ path that page (the OG block injected as before), and vite dev does the same.
Measured on the build: /watch JS 290 → 87 KB gzip, CSS 104 → 19 KB; the app's own bytes unchanged.
Two leaks had to go for that: lib/format imported the app's i18n for one "just now" string (the
relative-time formatters now take `t`, like the file's other t-formatters), and the boundary's
crash copy came from the same i18n (CrashBoundary takes its copy; ErrorBoundary is the app's
wrapper, the watch entry gives it the page's own strings). The page's popover tree went too: it
renders no popover.
Held by: a contract test walking the entry's runtime imports, naming the path to anything only the
app may load (red on a planted i18n import in lib/format), and holding watch.html's head equal to
index.html's; a DB-lane test that every /watch/ path gets the player's page with the link's OG tags
and app paths get the app (red on the old routing). Screenshots at 375 px, EN and HU, video / audio /
password / gone / wrong password / unlocked: identical to the old entry's, bar the video's buffered bar.
Every locale formatter takes the language as an argument. Under the React
Compiler a formatter that read the i18n singleton was memoized on its other
arguments, so a card kept "2 hr 4 min" after a switch to Hungarian; plexLang()
had the same flaw and left Plex queries in the old language. Components now
take the language from useTranslation, and the signature makes forgetting it
a type error.
- ratings, file sizes, stream stats: the language's decimal mark ("8,3")
- view and subscriber counts compact in the language ("1,2 E")
- seconds as the language's unit ("6 mp") in the sliders and the stats
- a person's birth and death dates as dates, not ISO strings
- A-Z lists by the shown name in the language's alphabet (compareText),
the tag catalog re-sorted by its translated names
- lint local/locale-format (was date-format) also refuses Intl.NumberFormat
outside lib/format.ts, localeCompare, and a component reading the language
off the i18n singleton
The owner's picks (all the recommended options) become DESIGN.md's Copy
chapter and a sweep of both languages (742 values, no key drift):
- One name per feature: the rail's label, which may shorten it (Alerts
-> Notifications, Fiókok -> Felhasználók, Download Center -> Downloads,
Channel manager -> Channels); one "sync from YouTube" verb.
- Four verbs, four meanings (Delete / Remove / Dismiss / Discard, and
their Hungarian pairs), checked against what each action does.
- Sentence case, the app's places capitalised; "…" on a command that
asks first (a popover or form title got its own key without it);
one-sentence messages without a stop or a tick, "Couldn't …"; curly
quotes.
- Dates only from lib/format.ts, in the UI language: formatDateTime
names the month and stops at the minute (it printed "9/27/2026,
8:30:14 AM"), formatDateTimeSec for the log, the audit and the
recorder; ui/RelativeTime pairs "3d ago" with the exact minute on
hover. local/date-format refuses toLocale*String and Intl date
formatters elsewhere.
- Units from Intl, short (formatUnit): runtimes, totals, the Scheduler
countdown, the stats range, the player's tap skip. "2h 13m" was
English in both languages.
- src/i18n/copyRule.test.ts holds the machine-readable part (quotes,
"...", ticks, bare unit letters).
