Weglot

Build me a focused translation management and website localization workflow for the personal core of Weglot. Requirements:

- Use Next.js 15, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, and one optional machine-translation API. Model repositories, builds, deployments, logs, and rollback points; store source IDs and timestamps for each.
- Paid product context: Translate a small static site build and generate localized routes at deploy time. Build only this DIY scope: Translate a small static site build, generate localized routes at deploy time, manage translation keys with context preserved, import and export standard files, and publish approved strings.
- Implement projects, locales, keys, namespaces, descriptions, screenshots, translations, and review status.
- Import and export JSON, YAML, PO, and XLIFF while preserving placeholders and plural forms.
- Add glossary checks, missing-string filters, translation memory, comments, and reviewer assignment. Add backups, locale deletion safeguards, and a pseudo-localization preview.
- Use a local web page with input, progress, review, and export views. Required input or access: self-hosted deployment; source locale files. Keep credentials in .env.
- Recovery: If optional DeepL or OpenAI API key is unavailable, keep the source record and show a recoverable error instead of a fabricated result.
- Acceptance: with one labelled sample, show the input, saved intermediate state, and exported result; verify this invariant: An invalid input or interrupted operation must retain the source and show a recoverable state; exported records must reload with the same IDs.
- Out of scope: website proxy, automatic discovery, machine translation, SEO routing, and hosted delivery; professional translator marketplace. Keep this a personal, inspectable workflow.
- Include a README with setup, a sample input, required keys or permissions, data location, and the supported scope.

# AGENTS.md — Build guide for Weglot

## Project scope
Translate a small static site build, generate localized routes at deploy time, manage translation keys with context preserved, import and export standard files, and publish approved strings.

Catalogue verdict: no. A consolation build is possible, but the paid product's decisive value sits outside a solo rebuild. For Weglot, translate a small static site build and generate localized routes at deploy time. The hard boundary is website proxy, automatic discovery, machine translation, seo routing, and hosted delivery, plus translation memory, collaboration, and deployment integrations.
Use the implementation prompt below to define the deliverable. Complete each phase's acceptance checks before extending the scope.

## Working agreement
- Inspect the repository and its existing instructions before choosing paths, dependencies or commands. Keep one coherent stack and explain changes to the proposed architecture.
- Plan a vertical slice that accepts a real input and produces the useful output described below. Persist only the state the prompt calls for; respect memory-only and upstream-managed workflows. Use fixtures only when they are clearly labelled.
- After scaffolding, document the actual install, development, check and build commands in README and keep them synchronized with the package or project manifest. Do not report commands as successful unless they ran.
- Work in small steps. At handoff, list implemented flows, checks actually performed, remaining blockers, and any credentials or provider setup the owner must supply.
- Do not publish, spend money, contact customers, delete source data or run irreversible migrations without the project owner's authorization.

## Prerequisites
- PostgreSQL
- self-hosted deployment
- source locale files
- optional DeepL or OpenAI API key

## Stack and architecture
- Use Next.js 15, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, and one optional machine-translation API.
- Model repositories, builds, deployments, logs, and rollback points; store source IDs and timestamps for each.
- Interface for this translation management and website localization workflow: a local web page with input, progress, review, and export views.

## Security and data integrity
- If optional DeepL or OpenAI API key is unavailable, keep the source record and show a recoverable error instead of a fabricated result.
- Keep API keys and OAuth secrets in .env; redact them from logs, generated files, and error responses.
- State the practical limit: website proxy, automatic discovery, machine translation, SEO routing, and hosted delivery.

## Agent implementation rules
- Project rule, data: Model repositories, builds, deployments, logs, and rollback points; store source IDs and timestamps for each.
- Project rule, behavior: Implement projects, locales, keys, namespaces, descriptions, screenshots, translations, and review status.
- Project rule, recovery: If optional DeepL or OpenAI API key is unavailable, keep the source record and show a recoverable error instead of a fabricated result.

## Optional agent skills and references
No installable skill is listed for this guide; use the project rules and the stack documentation.

Read the linked SKILL.md and its dependencies before adding a skill. Select only the skills matching this project's runtime and task; their documentation does not supply API access, credentials or approval to perform external actions. Pin the reviewed revision where the tool supports it. Follow the chosen agent's documented project-level installation mechanism.

## Distribution ideas
These are optional planning notes. Obtain the owner's approval before publishing or contacting anyone.
- Demonstrate this translation management and website localization operation with sample or user-owned data: Implement projects, locales, keys, namespaces, descriptions, screenshots, translations, and review status.
- Show a concrete result or export: Import and export JSON, YAML, PO, and XLIFF while preserving placeholders and plural forms.
- State the practical limit: website proxy, automatic discovery, machine translation, SEO routing, and hosted delivery.

## Engineering roadmap
1. Phase 1, architecture and data: Use Next.js 15, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, and one optional machine-translation API. Model repositories, builds, deployments, logs, and rollback points; store source IDs and timestamps for each.
2. Phase 2, implement: Implement projects, locales, keys, namespaces, descriptions, screenshots, translations, and review status.
3. Phase 3, implement: Import and export JSON, YAML, PO, and XLIFF while preserving placeholders and plural forms.
4. Phase 4, review and output: Add glossary checks, missing-string filters, translation memory, comments, and reviewer assignment. Import and export JSON, YAML, PO, and XLIFF while preserving placeholders and plural forms.
5. Phase 5, recovery and acceptance: If optional DeepL or OpenAI API key is unavailable, keep the source record and show a recoverable error instead of a fabricated result. Verify this invariant with a saved fixture: An invalid input or interrupted operation must retain the source and show a recoverable state; exported records must reload with the same IDs. State the practical limit: website proxy, automatic discovery, machine translation, SEO routing, and hosted delivery.

## Completion evidence
Demonstrate the prompt's acceptance scenarios against the scoped workflow. Include setup from a clean checkout and failure recovery. Check persistence across restart and export/restore only for the state the prompt says to store; for memory-only tools, confirm that temporary content is discarded as specified. Record actual results and remaining limitations. A detailed plan alone does not establish a working replacement.
