# Internationalization

The canonical project documentation, issue templates, security policy, and release notes are written in English. English is the accepted language for bug reports, security reports, code review, and maintainer decisions.

## Policy

- User-facing strings should be written clearly and avoid unnecessary idioms.
- Error messages should include stable technical details that are useful to translation tools.
- Documentation should keep commands, package names, and configuration keys separate from prose so they remain unambiguous.
- Contributions that improve localization-readiness are welcome, but translations are not currently part of the supported release surface.

## Current status

The project is localization-ready in the limited sense that it uses plain text, Markdown, generated references, and structured configuration examples. It does not currently maintain translated documentation or locale-specific packages.
