English | 中文

Locale plugin: LocaleService — the zh/en preference stored as locale.preference in $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml; when that explicit Host value is absent, a fresh browser starts provisionally in the language navigator asks for (primary-subtag matching, with zh when it asks for no language this app ships). The Host read runs after plugin activation so an unavailable settings service cannot block the page; its result replaces the provisional browser value live. Remote browsers retain only a process-local selection because the settings API is loopback-only. locale/change fires on switches. The service also owns the ns×locale dictionary registry (typed register(ns, {zh, en}) checked against LocaleNamespaceMap, bind(ns)→TranslateNS<ns>; lookup chain ns → common → zh → key), implements the slot system's LocaleFace, and installs itself through ctx.slots.installLocale, backing the framework-injected t standard seat (Translate/TranslateNS are ui-slots types; import them from there — this package only re-exports for dictionary owners' convenience). The Host-backed preferences decision owns the persistence boundary.

Model Experience

None, as the locale registry serves browser UI copy; nothing here reaches a model request.

KV Cache effect

None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.

Known Limitations and Deferred Work

• Some surfaces keep inline copy — Settings rows, the sidebar, question composer, and model select use locale seats; other packages still own static text directly.
• Registry-held text reads its translation once — copy captured at registration time outside the slot render path (e.g. the /model command description in the command registry) keeps the language it was registered under until re-registration; slot-rendered copy follows switches live.
