Locale files are located at `locales/<locale-name>.md` +relative to this skill directory. + +Match the translation task to the correct locale file using the table below: + +| Locale Code | Language | Guideline File | +| ----------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------- | +| `ar` | Arabic | [locales/ar.md](locales/ar.md) | +| `ca` | Catalan | [locales/ca.md](locales/ca.md) | +| `de` | German | [locales/de.md](locales/de.md) | +| `el` | Greek | [locales/el.md](locales/el.md) | +| `es` | Spanish | [locales/es.md](locales/es.md) | +| `fr` | French | [locales/fr.md](locales/fr.md) | +| `he` | Hebrew | [locales/he.md](locales/he.md) | +| `hi` | Hindi | [locales/hi.md](locales/hi.md) | +| `hu` | Hungarian | [locales/hu.md](locales/hu.md) | +| `it` | Italian | [locales/it.md](locales/it.md) | +| `ja` | Japanese | [locales/ja.md](locales/ja.md) | +| `ko` | Korean | [locales/ko.md](locales/ko.md) | +| `nl` | Dutch | [locales/nl.md](locales/nl.md) | +| `pl` | Polish | [locales/pl.md](locales/pl.md) | +| `pt` | Portuguese | [locales/pt.md](locales/pt.md) | +| `th` | Thai | [locales/th.md](locales/th.md) | +| `tr` | Turkish | [locales/tr.md](locales/tr.md) | +| `zh-CN` | Simplified Chinese | [locales/zh-CN.md](locales/zh-CN.md) | +| `zh-TW` | Traditional Chinese | [locales/zh-TW.md](locales/zh-TW.md) | + +If the target locale file does not yet exist, follow only the global rules in +this document together with the i18n Policy. + +## Translation File Structure + +All translation files are JSON files located at: + +``` +airflow-core/src/airflow/ui/public/i18n/locales/<locale-name>/ +``` + +Each locale directory contains namespace files (e.g., `admin.json`, `assets.json`, +`browse.json`, `common.json`, `components.json`, `dag.json`, `dags.json`, +`dashboard.json`, `hitl.json`, `tasks.json`). The English locale (`en`) is the +**default locale** and the primary source for all translations. + +## Translation Principles + +1. **Concise and clear** — Translations are used in UI elements (buttons, + labels, tooltips). Keep them short and suitable for constrained UI space. +2. **Consistent** — Always use the same translated term for the same English + term. Refer to the glossary in your locale file. +3. **Accurate** — Maintain the original meaning and intent. +4. **Neutral tone** — Language should be polite and neutral. +5. **Local conventions** — Respect date formats, number formatting, and + formal/informal tone as appropriate for the locale. + +## Do-Not-Translate Terms + +The following terms **must** remain in English across all locales: + +| Term | Reason | +| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | +| `Airflow` | Product name | +| `Dag` / `Dags` | Airflow convention; always use `Dag`, never `DAG` | +| `XCom` / `XComs` | Airflow cross-communication mechanism name | +| `Provider` / `Providers` | Airflow extension package name | +| `REST API` | Standard technical term | +| `JSON` | Standard technical format name | +| `ID` | Universal abbreviation | +| `PID` | Unix process identifier | +| `UTC` | Time standard | +| `Schema` | Database term (keep unless locale has established convention) | Review Comment: nit: broken table -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
