Summary

This PR completes the localization work for Recordly, with a focus on Simplified Chinese user-facing coverage.

  • Localize missing launch and recording UI labels, including generated capture sources such as Display 1, Display 2, and Folder.
  • Expand Simplified Chinese coverage across the editor, timeline, annotations, captions, shortcuts, settings, export/project dialogs, update prompts, and other runtime surfaces.
  • Add the native Electron dialog localization bridge so native dialogs such as update prompts and unsaved-changes confirmation follow the selected language.
  • Align locale keys across supported language files so the locale schema remains structurally consistent.
  • Add localization-focused tests and documentation for the user-visible wording changes.

Scope Boundary

Included:

  • Renderer i18n wiring and localized user-facing strings.
  • Simplified Chinese translations and supporting locale-key updates.
  • Native Electron dialog localization.
  • Recording-source label localization.
  • Localization tests and documentation.

Not included:

  • System-audio output selection or live monitoring.
  • Right-click cursor effects.
  • Annotation-panel flashing fix.
  • FFmpeg handling.
  • Recording pipeline changes.
  • Native binary or build-artifact changes.

Validation

  • npm test — 136 test files passed; 1,188 tests passed; 1 skipped.
  • npm run i18n:check — locale files are structurally consistent.
  • npx tsc --noEmit — passed.
  • npm run lint — passed.
  • git diff --check — passed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request expands localization across renderer UI, editor workflows, locale resources, and Electron native dialogs. It adds Simplified Chinese resources, aligns other locale schemas, propagates the selected locale through IPC, and adds localization tests.

Changes

Localization integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native dialog locale bridge
electron/nativeDialogLocale.ts, electron/ipc/register/*, electron/updater.ts, electron/preload.ts, electron/main.ts
Native file pickers, export dialogs, update dialogs, and unsaved-change prompts now use locale-aware copy. The renderer sends the selected locale through IPC. English remains the fallback.
Launch and editor UI localization
src/components/launch/*, src/components/ui/dialog.tsx, src/components/video-editor/*, src/hooks/useScreenRecorder.ts
Hard-coded labels, tooltips, alerts, toasts, status messages, project flows, export flows, captions, audio fallback messages, timeline text, and shortcut labels now use translation keys with English fallbacks.
Locale resource expansion
src/i18n/locales/*
Locale files gain common, dialog, editor, launch, settings, shortcut, and timeline keys. The zh-CN resources also revise annotation, trimming, update, settings, and timeline terminology.
Validation and translation contracts
src/i18n/i18nLocale.test.ts, electron/nativeDialogLocale.test.ts, src/lib/shortcuts.ts, docs/localization/zh-CN-localization-changes.md
Tests verify Simplified Chinese resource values, native dialog fallback behavior, placeholder formatting, and localized source labels. Shortcut metadata and localization documentation are added.

In `@src/components/launch/SourceSelector.tsx`:
- Around line 58-61: Update the source-label logic around isScreenSource so
getLocalizedSourceLabel is called only for screen sources; preserve windowTitle
|| source.name unchanged for non-screen sources, including titles such as
“Screen 1”. Add a collision test covering a non-screen window titled “Screen 1”.

In `@src/components/video-editor/audio/useSourceAudioFallback.ts`:
- Around line 55-56: Update the toast message construction in
useSourceAudioFallback to use complete localized templates for both error and
playback-hint cases, such as fallbackUnavailableWithError and
fallbackUnavailableWithPlaybackHint. Pass summarizeErrorMessage(result.error)
through a named interpolation value instead of concatenating translated
fragments, and remove fixed punctuation joins at both affected branches.

In `@src/i18n/locales/zh-CN/launch.json`:
- Line 83: Update the microphoneDenied translation to use clear, grammatically
correct Chinese stating that recording will continue without microphone audio.

In `@src/i18n/locales/zh-CN/timeline.json`:
- Line 7: Correct the noTelemetry translation by removing the extraneous “测”
character, using the intended equivalent Chinese text “无有效光标轨迹数据”.

🟡 Minor · Preserve window titles in the selected-source trigger. · LaunchWindow.tsx:99

src/components/launch/LaunchWindow.tsx:99
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve window titles in the selected-source trigger.

The rendered trigger uses getLocalizedSourceLabel(selectedSource, t) in LaunchWindow, while SourceSelector receives a custom trigger and its fallback label is not rendered. useLaunchWindowActions stores only source.name, so a window titled Screen 1 reaches this call and is displayed as a localized screen label.

Preserve the selected source identity or type, resolve the corresponding DesktopSource, and use getSourceDisplayLabel. Keep the raw selectedSource only when no record is available. Add a trigger-level test for a window titled Screen 1.
