# cmux Localization Use this skill for any user-facing string change. ## Hard rules - Every user-facing string is localized. Never a bare string literal in SwiftUI `Text()`, `Button()`, alert titles, tooltips, menus, or dialogs. - Swift/AppKit/SwiftUI: `String(localized: "key.name", defaultValue: "English text")`, with keys in `Resources/Localizable.xcstrings` translated for every supported language (currently English and Japanese). - `defaultValue`, English fallback text, schema descriptions, and copied English strings do not count as localization. - Localized web/docs content updates every supported message catalog (currently `web/messages/en.json` and `web/messages/ja.json`) plus any localized data structures carrying inline translations. - A localization audit is required for every user-facing change. ## Audit checklist Before finishing a task that changes UI, Settings rows, menus, shortcut metadata, schema/config text, docs, command/help text, alerts, or tooltips: 1. Enumerate the changed user-facing surfaces. 2. Verify each surface has entries for every supported locale. 3. Parse the touched localization files and compare changed message keys across locales. 4. Run `rg` over changed Swift/TS/TSX/docs files for newly introduced bare English. 5. State in the final handoff what audit was performed, or explicitly say what could not be verified. ## Detailed reference - [references/audit-workflow.md](references/audit-workflow.md): what counts as user-facing, search pa
