Translate the last strings the en-XA sweep found, and fix the rule breaks left in wrapped code

[ryanwelcher]

Why

#630 is the last batch of #622. #647 did the part that didn't depend on the other batches. This does the rest, now that #636, #643, #644, #645 and #646 are merged: the en-XA sweep #630 asks for, and the two rule breaks it named in already-wrapped code.

What changes

Found by the sweep:

• xterm's own screen-reader strings: the terminal input's label ("Terminal input") and its "too much output" announcement, set through Terminal.strings before each terminal is created.
• Main's refusal to submit while a patch is applied. It was ${label} is applied. Revert it…, a sentence spliced around the name, and it's shown as-is in the patch pane. It's now two whole sentences, one with the name and one without.
• The Playground web server's three errors from main (no folder to serve, exits before it's ready, times out). Translate the mail dialog, the Playground web server and the copy-path error #647's review deferred these here.

Rule breaks #630 named:

• apply-card.cjs adds a full stop to a headline that lacks one. Translate the remaining strings, and fix the rule breaks in wrapped code #630 said to drop it once main's errors carried their own. They don't, and can't all: patch-apply.js messages double as terminal bullets, the fallback headline is Git's own stderr line, and four paths pass a thrown error's text. So the full stop stays but goes through _x('%s.', …) for the translator to choose, and a sentence already ended in any script's mark (\p{Sentence_Terminal}) keeps it.
• workItem.label is removed from both project types. Nothing read it once the sentences that named a work item became one per kind.

Already done, nothing to change: use-dev-server.jsx had nothing left after #646.

How to test this

Any platform, current head. The suites cover it:

# from the repository root
npm test
npm run build:once
npx playwright test --project=journeys tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js

• ipc-wiring.test.cjs has two new pseudo-locale tests, for main's refusal (with and without a name) and the web server's failures. Both are red on the old main.js.
• apply-card.test.cjs checks the translated full stop, and that sentences ended in 。, ؟ and । keep their mark.
• The i18n Terminal journey now finds the input by its translated name. The apply card journey now expects the whole refusal, full stop included, as one translated string.

To look by hand: run npx electron . --lang=en-XA from the repository root, open a site, open the Terminal tray, and inspect the terminal's textarea. Its aria-label is bracketed and accented.

What must not have happened: with no --lang, nothing reads differently. The refusal, the web server errors and the terminal's label are the same English as before, and mail.spec.js, terminal.spec.js and the rest of the English journeys pass unchanged.

Risks and limitations

• What the sweep covered: I launched en-XA with a Core site and a Gutenberg site, opened every tray, log tab and settings tab, the site menu and the create dialog, and scanned the whole window. After the xterm fix, the only English left was product names, commands, the $ prompt and PHP version numbers. It didn't open every dialog or failure state; the existing i18n journeys cover many of those.
• Left on purpose (Wrap the rest of the app's strings for translation #622's do-not-wrap list): main's argument guards ('Site is not registered', 'No running script'), the github-prs.js and trac-view.js errors that are replaced by a status before display, and console.error messages.
• Untested: 'Timed out starting web server' is wrapped but has no test. It needs fake timers for its 20-second wait.
• Translate the screen-reader "Notifications" text that @wordpress/a11y adds before the locale loads #648 (the a11y "Notifications" text) is separate.

Review outcome

1 [fix here] · 1 [follow-up]. The fix is applied in c2eb4ba.

• Review: completed by a separate agent with a fresh context, against .github/instructions/code-review.instructions.md. Reviewed head c53312a, base 8303849 (trunk). npm run lint clean, npm test 2081/2081, full journey suite 147/147 on c53312a.
• Fixed: the list of marks that end a sentence missed Devanagari ।, Armenian, Ethiopic, Khmer and Myanmar, so a Hindi sentence would have got a second mark. It now uses \p{Sentence_Terminal}, with a Hindi case in the test. The doc comment's over-long line was rewrapped.
• Deferred: a test for the web server's 20-second timeout (see Risks).
• Confirmed by the review:
  • xterm reads promptLabel in open() and tooMuchOutput on each announcement, so setting both before new Terminal is early enough.
  • The refusal's English is unchanged for every label, including a blank one.
  • Nothing reads workItem.label.
  • No English journey asserts a changed string.
• Since review: c53312a → c2eb4ba, which contains only the fix above. Lint, unit tests (2081) and the i18n journeys were rerun on c2eb4ba. One i18n journey (site details and menu, which this branch doesn't touch) failed once in that run, then passed three times on its own and in the full run before. That's a flake.

Nothing on screen changes in English, so there are no screenshots.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Selected applied-patch refusal, Playground web server, failure-message, and terminal accessibility strings now use localized text. Project-type work-item labels were removed. Unit and end-to-end tests were updated for the localized strings and punctuation.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective	Addressed	Explanation
Translate the remaining strings and fix the listed wrapped-code cases [#630]	❌	The diff addresses the applied-patch label wording, failure punctuation, and selected Playground and terminal strings. It does not cover the other listed strings in components/email-modal.jsx and index.jsx.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c2eb4

This change localizes several error and accessibility strings. English behavior is unchanged. The only gap is a missing test for the web-server timeout message, which is a low risk to merge.

Tests · 🔵 low · [fix here]: Cover the localized startup timeout.

The new playground-web:start test checks a missing directory and an early exit, but it does not reach this timeout. Add a timeout-path assertion for the localized error so this third changed failure message is covered. As per path instructions, “For introduced features or bugfixes, missing tests are findings.”
