MacRimi ab8c4a56ea Apply one Spanish style to the Monitor and the terminal menus
- The Spanish interface addresses the reader as tú, uses the infinitive on buttons and menu options, and uses Spain vocabulary (pulsar, introducir, añadir, the Intro key)
- Backup, snapshot, host, pool and slot stay in English, and Proxmox web interface paths keep their English labels
- Mistranslated texts, missing spaces and gender agreements corrected
- Spanish documentation quotes the updated screen labels
- The translation guide describes the Spanish style
- The command description fixture follows the updated Spanish text

Monitor dashboard translations

The ProxMenux Monitor dashboard uses a small client-side i18n layer.

  • English (en) is the source language and the runtime fallback.
  • Eight locales are shipped and fully populated end-to-end: en, de, es, fr, it, pt, sk, sv. Non-English catalogs started from an automated bootstrap and are being polished as native speakers pass through them.

To improve a translation, edit the values in your locale's common.json — keep placeholders such as {uptime}, {vmid} or {count} unchanged, and don't translate brand or product names (ProxMenux Monitor, Proxmox Backup Server, Secure Gateway, Tailscale, etc.). Missing keys fall back to English at runtime, so a partial refresh is always safe to merge.

Backup message composition regressions

From the repository root, run:

node tests/test_backup_archives_empty.cjs
node tests/test_backup_destination_messages.cjs

Prerequisites: Node.js and the typescript development dependency from AppImage/package.json must be installed/resolvable (normally in AppImage/node_modules). These tests compile actual JSX message branches and pure i18n lookup functions without importing the component or calling a backend. They cover whole English messages, missing-key locale fallback, loading/error branches, nonempty lists, the removal notice at zero/one/multiple archives, local-attach help, and unchanged shared labels. They do not replace browser or real-host acceptance. Keep literal paths in the local-attach help unchanged.
