Internationalization

The dashboard uses message catalogs through I18nContext. English is the fallback language and Spanish demonstrates a second complete catalog for core navigation, page titles, scan controls, status messages and theme controls.

The selected locale is stored locally, applied to the document lang attribute, and used with Intl.DateTimeFormat and Intl.NumberFormat. An unsupported locale falls back to English. Security identifiers, Azure resource names, findings and compliance control IDs are data and are never translated.

Adding a locale

  1. Add a catalog to frontend/src/i18n/messages.js using exactly the English keys.
  2. Translate meaning rather than word order; retain {name} placeholders.
  3. Add the language's self-name to each catalog.
  4. Run npm run test:i18n; missing keys fail the catalog test.
  5. Review navigation at narrow and wide widths and verify date/number output.

The website remains English-first. Additional website locales should reuse the same terminology but must not duplicate security data or rule definitions.
