🔎 First-pass review — ✅ Looks mergeable

Routine intl pipeline output: 608 files across .manifests/** and public/content/translations/** for 24 non-English locales, targeting dev from intl/pending-dev — the correct intl/pending-{base} orchestration branch. No red flags: base branch is right, and the changes are pipeline-generated (not hand-edits to non-English files against a moving English source), so translation quality is owned by the pipeline + its review process, not this pass.

The 5 failed task combos noted in the description (3× Gemini RECITATION content-filter hits on fr/es/pt-br, plus suspiciously-short zh/zh-tw whitepaper output) are informational — they do not block the 312 successfully translated files, and the body already includes rerun commands for them.

Analysis

• Lane: translation (paths are the truth — all .manifests/** + public/content/translations/**, non-en locales).
• Base branch: dev ← intl/pending-dev — matches the documented orchestration model. ✅
• Checked: correct target base, no wrong-branch edits, no hand-propagation of English changes. Did not score translation quality (pipeline owns that).
• Non-blocking: consider re-running the 5 failed file/language combos before or after merge per the commands in the PR body.
• Labels: translation 🌍 already applied (correct type). Added needs review 👀 for maintainer routing.

Translation Quality Review

PR: #19015
Branch HEAD: 7b18724724
Languages: all 24
Files reviewed: 200 markdown + 72 JSON
Date: 2026-08-10
Fixes: Critical fixes applied and committed to this branch (8387c4aced)

The Netlify build was red on arrival. Root cause: <p> collapsed to <p></p> in zero-knowledge-proofs/index.md in 8 locales, orphaning the following </p>. Fixed; 200/200 markdown now compile clean and scoped production builds pass.

Deterministic sweeps ran before the review fleet and found every structural defect; none was surfaced first by an agent. The 24 per-language agents then supplied the judgment layer and the per-locale replacement prose.

Fleet-wide defects fixed (all 24 locales)

Defect	Scope	Introduced by this PR
<p></p> MDX build-breaker	8 locales	yes
>).pdf>) autolink corruption, 48 dead source links	24 locales	yes
{#will-my-smart-contracts-change} FAQ section deleted by the incremental merge	24 locales	yes
Stale H2 2026 (English says Q4) and stale "democratize liquidity" clause	24 locales	yes
<QuizWidget> / <Divider /> never propagated	192 files, 8 pages	pipeline gap
Leftover # Title {#glamsterdam} h1 rendering the page title twice	24 locales	pre-existing
Ghost duplicate blocks	13 blocks, 7 locales	pre-existing

Of the six changes in English commit 0e42e1a2ee, four propagated to all 24 locales and two single-clause prose edits did not, so a clean structural diff was not evidence the small edits landed.

The <QuizWidget> gap is worth a pipeline fix: the quiz strings were already fully translated in every locale, so only the component invocation was missing and those quizzes rendered nowhere outside English.

Fleet average 8.4 (pre-fix).

Glossary and semantic fixes applied (103 replacements)

Every fix corrects toward the ETHGlossary term the locale already used elsewhere, with a cross-file disagreement inside this PR as corroboration.

• cs gas rendered as literal plyn in 42 sites across five files, while common.json had it right. ETHGlossary's own cs note mandates the loanword. Unrelated Czech words (plynulejší, plynout) and the literal natural-gas flaring line left untouched.
• sw client (software) rendered mteja (customer) in 31 sites where the glossary mandates kiteja; two files got it right in one line and wrong in the next. Fixed with noun-class concord.
• bn two corrupted words that destroyed a negation: transactions claimed view/pure calls do require gas; payments garbled "no regulatory bureaucracy".
• actor polyseme resolved to a film performer in bn/hi/mr/ur.
• mr miners rendered खनिज (mineral), producing "minerals must use computing hardware".
• pl receipt as paragon (till receipt) in both receipts_root rows.
• fr slot reverted from the glossary form créneau; bare L1/L2 in two nav strings.
• es untranslated banks and Merge; es/it gatekeeper collapsed onto intermediario (middleman).
• ko exposure flattened to "invest"; zh-tw fee_recipient described as the payer.
• ta a Bengali word inside Tamil prose (cross-script contamination).
• te/ar/mr zero-knowledge proof nav labels disagreeing with their own page titles.
• Nine dropped internal links restored in cs/pl/sw/vi transactions and ru bridges.

Deliberately left for a native-speaker pass

These are agent-flagged criticals I did not fix, because the correction is LLM-authored prose in a script I cannot verify and hand-patching non-Latin content risks silent Unicode-composition drift.

• ja / ar / ur ETHGlossary-covered brand names left in Latin in learn-quizzes.json and page-what-is-ethereum.json (Optimism, Arbitrum, Aave, MakerDAO, Facebook, Twitter, Geth, ZK-STARK), while the same files transliterate other brands correctly.
• ur the glossary-AVOID form لین دین for "transaction fee" in 4 sites; وٹالک بوٹیرن vs the corpus-standard spelling.
• ta shared key using விசை where the bare glossary entry is திறவுகோல்; trade-offs using the swap sense.
• hi non-trusted setup rendered with the "untrustworthy" reading that ETHGlossary's trustless note warns against.
• tr the stale sabit para form still in 6 sites of payments.
• de du/Sie split across learn-quizzes.json categories; es tú/usted split across the file set.

Confirmed clean, and false positives worth not re-reporting

Clean fleet-wide: JSON validity 72/72, full key parity, ICU placeholders, rich-text tag sets, zero HTML-PLACEHOLDER leaks, no untranslated English prose chunks (vi's historical failure mode absent), no ticker or domain typos, no transliterated domains, no PoW/PoS or validator/miner inversions.

Not defects, do not flag next time: 26 <strong> count mismatches in SOV and RTL locales are legitimate word-order redistributions of a bolded verb+object, rendered through t.rich which accepts repeated tags. The discriminator is direction, not count.

Still outstanding outside this PR's scope: the same leftover h1 affects community/grants, contributing/adding-videos and whitepaper in 51 further files.

Knowledge base updated in 7b18724724 with four new patterns (component propagation gap, the moved-> autolink variant, structural-vs-prose partial propagation, and the SOV <strong> false positive) plus the per-language record for all 24 locales.

Follow-up to the review above, now at 585282e2fd.

Removed the leftover # Ethereum grants {#ethereum-grants} h1 from all 24 translated community/grants/index.md. English dropped it in the h1-to-frontmatter.title migration and the locales kept it, so those pages were rendering the title twice.

Checked before touching it: all 24 manifests are current against English, and heading counts, anchor sets and internal link sets match English exactly once the stray h1 is gone. The anchor is not load-bearing - English no longer has it either, so the single inbound deep link was already dead on the English side.

Two sibling pages were deliberately left alone because they fail the same check: contributing/adding-videos (24 locales are missing the {#step-4} heading and the /stories/ link) and whitepaper (pt-br/zh/zh-tw have no manifest at that path). Both need a real repair rather than an h1 strip.

Pipeline gap behind the missing quiz components is now tracked in #19031.
