fix(ui): make UI language change consistent (#2185) - #2194
Before this PR, the webview had three ways to get translations: useAppTranslation, useTranslation, and a direct import of import {t} from "i18next". Some of them did not follow a language change, so text could keep the previous language. This PR fixes the UI language change problem and makes the webview use one approach with react-i18next. Then it removes the custom translation layer.
The PR makes four changes:
Load translations at startup.setup.ts calls loadTranslations() when the module loads. Before, a mount effect in TranslationProvider loaded them, so the first render could show raw keys.
Apply the language directly. The new helper applyLanguage() (webview-ui/src/i18n/language.ts) changes the i18next language. It does nothing if the language is already active. The "state" message handler in ExtensionStateContext calls it before the state is rendered. Thus components show the correct language from their first render.
Use common rules for react-i18next. These rules prevent stale cached output:
Get t and i18n from useTranslation. Do not import t from i18next and do not call i18next.t.
Pass t to each <Trans> (<Trans t={t} ... />).
Pass t as an argument to helpers. formatLargeNumber, formatTimeAgo, and validateApiConfiguration now take t.
New ESLint rules in webview-ui/eslint.config.mjs enforce these rules. The translation guides (.roo/rules-translate/001-general-rules.md and .roo/skills/roo-translation/SKILL.md) describe them.
Use one hook. All components use useTranslation from react-i18next. useAppTranslation is no longer used.
These changes make the translation harness simpler:
TranslationContext, its mock, and its test are deleted.
The Playwright TranslationContext stub and its Vite alias are deleted.
The visual fixtures use the new createFixtureI18n() helper with I18nextProvider.
Test mocks only mock react-i18next.
For reviewers, please check these items with care:
The applyLanguage() call in the "state" handler of ExtensionStateContext.tsx. This is now the only place where the language changes.
The new t argument in utils/format.ts and utils/validate.ts.
Most of the diff is a mechanical change from useAppTranslation to useTranslation, import { t } from "react-i18next" and direct usage of t to const { t } = useTranslation(), adding t property to every <Trans> component.
Test Procedure
New unit tests:
webview-ui/src/i18n/__tests__/languageSwitch.spec.tsx: It changes the language from en to es without a remount. Plain useTranslation, namespaced useTranslation, and Trans consumers all show the new language. The test consumers cache output on t, as React Compiler does. The test also checks that t is stable while the language does not change. It also checks that a namespaced t accepts fully qualified keys.
webview-ui/src/i18n/__tests__/hydrationLanguage.spec.tsx: Under StrictMode, components that hydration mounts show the hydrated language. It also tests applyLanguage(). The helper changes to a different language. It does not emit languageChanged again for the active language or for a missing language.
format.spec.ts and validate.spec.ts now pass t to the helpers.
To run the tests:
cd webview-ui
npx vitest run src/i18n src/utils
npx vitest run
pnpm lint
Manual test:
Build and start the extension. Open the Zoo Code panel.
If your language is not English by default, make sure that all visible text is language-consistent.
Open Settings and change the language (for example, from English to Español). Click Save.
Make sure that all visible text changes at the same time. Check the chat view, the task header, the Welcome page, and the Settings view. Do not reload the webview.
Close and open the extension again. Make sure that the first render shows the saved language and no raw translation keys.

Bug Fixes
Improved consistency of translated labels and validation messages across the app.
Corrected translated approval buttons when switching languages while a prompt is open.
This change updates WebView translation handling to use explicit translators and language values. It removes Playwright-specific translation context wiring, adds lint rules for restricted i18n patterns, and expands tests for live language switching, translated Trans content, validation messages, and locale-aware formatting.
Changes: WebView translation updates
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Translation rules and lint enforcement .roo/rules-translate/001-general-rules.md, .roo/skills/roo-translation/SKILL.md, packages/config-eslint/*, webview-ui/eslint.config.mjs
Docs now require useAppTranslation, fully qualified keys, explicit t for Trans, and explicit language for date helpers. ESLint adds selectors and import restrictions for global translation access, restricted hooks, and <Trans> without t.
Translation context and helper contracts webview-ui/src/i18n/TranslationContext.tsx, webview-ui/playwright/*, webview-ui/src/utils/{format,validate}.ts, webview-ui/src/components/welcome/WelcomeViewProvider.tsx, translation test helpers and visual fixtures
TranslationContext now provides { t, language }, with t fixed to the active language. Formatting helpers take explicit locale or translator inputs. Validation helpers receive t. Playwright wiring and fixtures use the application context shape.
Component adoption and live language updates webview-ui/src/components/chat/*, webview-ui/src/components/history/*, webview-ui/src/components/marketplace/*, webview-ui/src/components/common/*, webview-ui/src/components/mcp/*, webview-ui/src/components/modes/*, webview-ui/src/components/settings/*, webview-ui/src/components/ui/*, webview-ui/src/components/welcome/*
Components use useAppTranslation or pass t to Trans and helpers. ChatView stores approval-button translation keys so labels and tooltip selection use keys rather than translated text. Tests cover language changes without remounting and locale-specific formatting.

Explanation
The title "fix(ui): make UI language change consistent (#2185)" matches the main change: the PR makes webview text follow UI language changes by standardizing translation use on react-i18next, applying the language in the state handler, and removing the custom TranslationContext layer. It is concise and specific, uses a conventional prefix, and refers to the linked issue. Its wording is broad, but it describes the primary change rather than a secondary detail.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template in its main sections: Related GitHub Issue (Closes: #2185), Description, Test Procedure, Pre-Submission Checklist, Visual Snapshots, Videos, Documentation Updates, Additional Notes, and Get in Touch. It explains the how, the review focus areas, and the test commands and manual steps. The Visual Snapshots section is not filled in with a separate note, although the author states that snapshot tests were fixed. The Description section does not explicitly say which snapshots were added or updated. The Test Procedure lists new tests and commands but does not report results. These gaps are non-critical, so the description is mostly complete.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #2185 requires all webview UI text to change language after Save in Settings, without a webview reload, and to show the saved language after reopening the extension. At the reviewed head, webview-ui/src/i18n/TranslationContext.tsx exposes the active language through useSyncExternalStore. It builds t for that language, so t changes identity on a language switch. Memoized consumers and React Compiler caches therefore re-render. The change set updates consumers to useTranslation or useAppTranslation, and passes t to Trans and to helpers (format.ts, validate.ts), so helper output follows the active language. Tests cover the requirement: ChatView.language-switch.spec.tsx, TranslationContext.spec.tsx (memoized consumers and Trans after switching to Spanish, with no remount), and TranslationContext.locale-loading.spec.tsx (a late load does not revert the language). The PR description still describes an applyLanguage() helper in ExtensionStateContext.tsx and language.ts. The change summary contains no such files, and the PR objectives say the author later replaced that approach. The description is treated as obsolete. The requirement is met without that helper. Limits: test results are not reported and the tests were not run. The conclusion relies on source reading and the change summary, not on the full diff.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes support the language-consistency objective of #2185. They include: the TranslationContext language binding; migration from direct i18nextt imports and mixed hooks to one translation path; t parameters for format.ts, validate.ts, and getWelcomeApiConfiguration, so cached output follows the language; locale parameters for date and time formatters; ESLint selectors and guidance that block stale translation patterns; removal of the Playwright translation stub and its alias; visual fixtures and test mocks moved to the same translation path; and new language-switch tests. The marketplace:filters.tags.clear key correction changes text in the same UI areas. The .roo guide updates document the same rules. The change set is broad, mostly mechanical, and each change follows the same consistency rule. No concrete unrelated change was found. The formatDate cleanup in the PR notes is an open question, not a diff change. The lint-suppression comments in setup.spec.ts and setup.rejection.spec.ts are test-only and small. Limits: the assessment relies on the change summary, and I did not inspect each hunk.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
The check fails only for a changed path that leaks secrets or PII, trusts or executes unvalidated input, or bypasses approval or allowlist controls. I found no such path in PR #2194 (author rrewll, provider-reported primary record). What I checked: - Approval buttons (webview-ui/src/components/chat/ChatView.tsx). The PR stores translation keys in state (primaryButtonKey and secondaryButtonKey) and derives labels with t() at render time. The click handlers, handlePrimaryButtonClick and handleSecondaryButtonClick, still switch on clineAsk, the ask type, and not on the label text. The label comparisons changed only to key comparisons. The approve, reject, and retry dispatch paths are unchanged, so the approval flow is not bypassed. - Organization allowlist (webview-ui/src/utils/validate.ts).validateApiConfiguration still runs validateProviderAgainstOrganizationSettings on every call. The diff of that function changes only i18next.t to the injected t. The provider and model allowlist conditions and their return values are unchanged. - Signature changes. The new t parameter is passed in by all production callers I found (ApiOptions.tsx, BedrockCustomArn.tsx, WelcomeViewProvider.tsx). This does not alter validation logic. - Other changes. The i18n refactor, the ESLint rules, the test mocks, and the Playwright and fixture changes do not touch secrets, PII, input-trust boundaries, or approval logic. I did not find new logging of credentials or user data. Limitation: I did not run the test suite or build. This verdict rests on static diff inspection.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
The check fails only for a changed persistence path that can lose or corrupt state. This PR changes no persistence path. - The changed-file inventory (git diff --name-status over the review range) has no extension-host (src/) files. It touches only webview-ui/ UI and tests, packages/config-eslint/, and .roo/ guidance docs. - Added or changed lines in non-test webview source contain no postMessage, vscode.*, globalState, workspaceState, .update(, writeFile, localStorage, or sessionStorage calls. The grep returned no matches. - The language value is read from extension state, not written. The applyLanguage() and TranslationProvider changes only switch the in-memory i18next language. - The format.ts, validate.ts, and LanguageSettings edits change argument order and pass t or language. They do not write any state. - The ESLint rules and the test files do not persist anything. The PR does not change how the language setting is saved, so the check finds no changed persistence path with a plausible loss or corruption scenario. The PR description mentions an ExtensionStateContext change, but that file does not appear in the review range. This does not affect the verdict, because it would still be an in-memory apply, not a write. Review threads concern rendering, test mocks, and type signatures. They do not raise persistence concerns.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
The check fails only when a changed lifecycle path can leak a listener, watcher, provider, timer, task, or other resource, or duplicate work after cancellation, disposal, or restart. I found no such changed path. Evidence from the PR range (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base to head): - webview-ui/src/i18n/TranslationContext.tsx (new subscribe):i18n.on("languageChanged", …) is paired with return () => i18n.off(...), and useSyncExternalStore manages the subscription. The listener is removed on unmount and on i18n change. - TranslationContext.tsx (language-load effect, lines 41–53):loadLanguage(requestedLanguage).then(...) is guarded by a cancelled flag that the cleanup sets. A stale request therefore cannot call changeLanguage after a newer request. The base version had the same cancel pattern. The in-flight fetch is not aborted, but loadLanguage in setup.ts caches it in pendingLanguages and loadedLanguages, so repeated requests share one fetch and do not duplicate work. - webview-ui/src/i18n/setup.ts:loadLanguage deduplicates concurrent calls and removes the pending entry in .finally. It adds no listeners or timers. - ChatView.tsx: the diff removes the approval-label state setters and their effect logic. It adds no new useEffect, timer, or listener. The existing setInterval, clearInterval, clearTimeout, and window keydown add/remove pairs are unchanged. - Other changed non-test source files: a grep of added lines found no new setTimeout, setInterval, addEventListener, AbortController, or unpaired .on( calls. - webview-ui/src/i18n/__tests__/renderTranslated.tsx: the helper only dispatches a MessageEvent on window. It adds no listener. The PR description mentions applyLanguage() in language.ts and an ExtensionStateContext change. Neither file is in the changed-file inventory, so I did not assess them. This does not change the verdict because the diff is authoritative.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
The PR changes two settings validation paths so that their error text follows the active translation function. No test in the PR range covers either path at the component level with a language switch. Changed behavior (verified in the diff against the review base): - webview-ui/src/components/settings/ApiOptions.tsx passes t to validateApiConfigurationExcludingModelErrors (effect around lines 309-316, dependency list now includes t) and to getModelValidationError (memo around lines 379-382, dependency list now includes t). The stored error text now depends on t. - webview-ui/src/components/settings/providers/BedrockCustomArn.tsx passes t to validateBedrockArn and adds t to the validation memo dependencies (lines 32-38). Coverage found: - The changed-file list for the range has no ApiOptions* or BedrockCustomArn* spec file. - webview-ui/src/components/settings/__tests__/ and providers/__tests__/ contain no renderTranslated, changeLanguage, applyLanguage, or Spanish-locale assertion. A repository-wide search for renderTranslated and postExtensionState in spec files shows no settings-component use. - ApiOptions.interactions.spec.tsx lines 408-414 assert only that setErrorMessage was called with a truthy value. Lines 416-423 render a fixed string through a prop. Neither checks translated error text or a language switch. - BedrockCustomArn spec tests cover model selection and ARN state. They have no ARN error-text or language-switch assertion. - validate.spec.ts calls the validators with a stub t. That covers validator output only. It does not cover the component's t wiring or its dependency lists. Why this fails the check: the t dependency in these effects and memos is a changed behavior in the error branch. A plausible regression is removing t from either dependency list. The effect would then keep the old-language error after a language switch. The current suite would still pass. Prior failure disposition: the standing FAIL still holds. No commit in the reviewed range adds a settings-component test for these paths. The prior failure's specific claims were checked against the current tree and are confirmed. The PR's named tests (languageSwitch.spec.tsx, hydrationLanguage.spec.tsx) do not cover ApiOptions or BedrockCustomArn. Scope note: the PR's other changed behaviors have focused coverage in the range. These include ChatView approval labels, CheckpointWarning, CodebaseSearchResultsDisplay, ContextMenu, IssueFooter, TaskItemFooter, the TranslationContext language-switch tests, and format.spec.ts and validate.spec.ts for the helper signatures. The failure is limited to the settings validation error path.
Resolution
Add a component-level test under webview-ui/src/components/settings/__tests__/ (for example, an ApiOptions.*.spec.tsx file). The test should: 1. Render ApiOptions through the real translation provider (for example, with renderTranslated). Use an invalid credential configuration (for example, providerIdentifiers.anthropic with no API key) so a validation error appears. 2. Keep the same mounted component. Switch the UI language (for example, to es) without remounting. 3. Assert that the displayed validation error text, or the setErrorMessage argument, changes to the Spanish text. Optionally, add a similar test to webview-ui/src/components/settings/providers/__tests__/BedrockCustomArn.spec.tsx. The test should enter an invalid ARN, switch the language, and assert that the ARN validation message changes.

## Visual Tests (Playwright Story Gallery)
### Authoring rules
- Keep visual tests limited to components supported by the current Playwright harness. Add shared extension state, translation, React Query, or other provider support before snapshotting components that require it.
The inspected callers use the documented key format. The proposed concern depends on future inputs outside that format, so it does not establish a current defect.
webview-ui/src/i18n/TranslationContext.tsx: 1
44-46: Stability & Availability
The configured backend and detector failure paths do not exist. A backend loading error also does not reject the locked i18next version’s changeLanguage promise. The inspected code establishes no other rejection path.
webview-ui/src/components/chat/ChatRow.tsx: 1
1170-1172: Functional Correctness
The configured i18next instance returns "" for a missing key with this default. The branch therefore reaches the unknown-error message and support link. A fallback-language translation, when present, is resolved before the default.
packages/config-eslint/i18n-language-switch.js: 1
13-13: Functional Correctness
The selectors could flag a future unrelated setup import, but the inspected code shows no current false positive. The deeper-path concern also has no current example.
packages/config-eslint/package.json: 1
16-16: Stability & Availability
The reported Windows failure is contradicted by the declared Node version’s test-runner contract. The literal pattern is supported.

- Regression Evidence:
Add a component test that keeps an invalid credential configuration open,
changes the language without remounting, and checks that the validation error
changes language.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Regression Evidence:
Add a component test in
`webview-ui/src/components/settings/__tests__/ApiOptions.*.spec.tsx` that does
the following: 1. Renders `ApiOptions` with the real translation provider (for
example, through `renderTranslated`) and an invalid credential configuration, so
a validation error is shown. 2. Keeps the same mounted component and changes the
UI language (for example, to `es`). 3. Asserts that the displayed or
`setErrorMessage`-reported validation error text changes to the new language.
Optionally, add a similar test for `BedrockCustomArn` (its ARN validation memo
now depends on `t`).

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Regression Evidence:
Add a component-level test under `webview-ui/src/components/settings/__tests__/`
(for example, in an `ApiOptions.*.spec.tsx` file). The test should: 1. Render
`ApiOptions` through the real translation provider (for example, with
`renderTranslated`) and an invalid credential configuration, so a validation
error appears. 2. Keep the same mounted component and switch the UI language
(for example, to `es`) without remounting. 3. Assert that the displayed
validation error text, or the `setErrorMessage` argument, changes to the Spanish
text. Optionally, add a similar test to
`webview-ui/src/components/settings/providers/__tests__/BedrockCustomArn.spec.tsx`.
It should enter an invalid ARN, switch language, and assert that the ARN
validation message changes.

Closes: #2185
Description
Before this PR, the webview had three ways to get translations:
useAppTranslation,useTranslation, and a direct import ofimport {t} from "i18next". Some of them did not follow a language change, so text could keep the previous language. This PR fixes the UI language change problem and makes the webview use one approach with react-i18next. Then it removes the custom translation layer.The PR makes four changes:
Load translations at startup.
setup.tscallsloadTranslations()when the module loads. Before, a mount effect inTranslationProviderloaded them, so the first render could show raw keys.Apply the language directly. The new helper
applyLanguage()(webview-ui/src/i18n/language.ts) changes the i18next language. It does nothing if the language is already active. The"state"message handler inExtensionStateContextcalls it before the state is rendered. Thus components show the correct language from their first render.Use common rules for react-i18next. These rules prevent stale cached output:
tandi18nfromuseTranslation. Do not importtfromi18nextand do not calli18next.t.tto each<Trans>(<Trans t={t} ... />).tas an argument to helpers.formatLargeNumber,formatTimeAgo, andvalidateApiConfigurationnow taket.New ESLint rules in
webview-ui/eslint.config.mjsenforce these rules. The translation guides (.roo/rules-translate/001-general-rules.mdand.roo/skills/roo-translation/SKILL.md) describe them.Use one hook. All components use
useTranslationfromreact-i18next.useAppTranslationis no longer used.These changes make the translation harness simpler:
TranslationContext, its mock, and its test are deleted.TranslationContextstub and its Vite alias are deleted.createFixtureI18n()helper withI18nextProvider.react-i18next.For reviewers, please check these items with care:
applyLanguage()call in the"state"handler ofExtensionStateContext.tsx. This is now the only place where the language changes.targument inutils/format.tsandutils/validate.ts.useAppTranslationtouseTranslation,import { t } from "react-i18next"and direct usage ofttoconst { t } = useTranslation(), addingtproperty to every<Trans>component.Test Procedure
New unit tests:
webview-ui/src/i18n/__tests__/languageSwitch.spec.tsx: It changes the language fromentoeswithout a remount. PlainuseTranslation, namespaceduseTranslation, andTransconsumers all show the new language. The test consumers cache output ont, as React Compiler does. The test also checks thattis stable while the language does not change. It also checks that a namespacedtaccepts fully qualified keys.webview-ui/src/i18n/__tests__/hydrationLanguage.spec.tsx: Under StrictMode, components that hydration mounts show the hydrated language. It also testsapplyLanguage(). The helper changes to a different language. It does not emitlanguageChangedagain for the active language or for a missing language.format.spec.tsandvalidate.spec.tsnow passtto the helpers.To run the tests:
