A Portuguese user reported "Skip Intro" rendering in English on Android TV.
The locale files were not the problem - all 22 were structurally complete.
skip_marker_button.dart simply never imported strings.g.dart and assigned
'Skip Intro' / 'Skip Credits' / 'Next Episode' as plain literals. An audit of
lib/ found ~120 more sites in the same state, in four shapes that need
different fixes:
A literal in a file that never imported the i18n layer is the easy one -
skip_marker_button, performance_stats, track_label_builder and codec_utils all
render text with no `t` in the file at all. TrackLabelBuilder._compose now takes
a fallbackLabel builder instead of an English fallbackPrefix, so the caller
supplies t.audioTracks.track / t.videoControls.subtitleTrack and every unnamed
audio and subtitle row in the track menus is localized.
English reaching the user through an exception message is the widest one, and
it needs care: MediaServerException.message feeds both toString() - logs and
Sentry grouping - and verbatim UI display. Localizing it in place would make
bug-report logs follow the user's locale and split one Sentry issue into 22.
The MediaServer and Seerr families instead gain a nullable `display` alongside
the English `message`, and the six screens that print these errors read
`display ?? message`. PlaybackException keeps the opposite rule, because it
already carries a PlaybackFailureReason for logic and classifyPlaybackFailure
already builds it from t.messages: its stragglers are localized at the throw
site. That also removes the literal "Exception: " prefix Live TV users saw on
a tune failure, since PlaybackException.toString() returns the bare message.
Localized parts hand-concatenated with bare English are the shape no search for
Text('...') can find: '${t.common.pause} auto-scroll' on the home carousel,
'${day} at ${time}' on the Live TV schedule row, and an actor-screen count that
hand-rolled its plural as `n == 1 ? 'title' : 'titles'` - wrong for ru and pl
regardless of translation, now a real Slang plural.
Finally a literal assigned to provider state that a widget renders later:
DownloadProgress.errorMessage, and the four background_downloader notification
bodies, which sit inside a plugin config call where no widget-shaped search
reaches them.
Two things surfaced while converting. track_chapter_controls compared a track
label against 'Audio Track N' to swap in a localized version; once the builder
localized its own fallback that branch became unreachable, so it and the
orphaned _joinTrackLabel are gone. And discovery_view's PeerError fallback arm
looks like a leak but is not - its producers already localize, and a test says
so - so it stays as it is.
All 21 non-base locales are translated, including the 21 keys left empty by
earlier commits that were falling back to English. No locale has an empty value.
scripts/check_hardcoded_strings.py guards the three shapes a structural check
can see, and runs in ci_checks.sh after translation hygiene. Its first draft
passed its own tests while missing this very bug, because 'Skip Intro' is bound
to a local rather than handed to Text(); the name-bound rule that closes that
gap is restricted to phrase-shaped literals, or it cannot tell copy from the
identifiers this codebase binds constantly ('cast_row', 'auto', 'liveTv'). It
cannot see English inside a throw or assigned to a provider field - neither is
distinguishable from a log message without dataflow analysis - and the docstring
says so. label: and actionLabel: are deliberately unscanned: here they name a
diagnostic operation, and a check that is chronically red is a check that gets
switched off.
One commit rather than one per area: the keys, the 22 locale files and the
generated output are a single unit, and any partial split fails the repo's own
unused-key scan on the way through.
