[pethers]

🎯 Objective

Update TRANSLATION_DOCUMENTATION_README.md based on comprehensive analysis of all 13 language translation status files, providing accurate current state and identifying top priority translation tasks for upcoming phases.

• Current file coverage and quality scores per language
• Recent Phase 1-5 completions (Swedish ISMS policies, blog infrastructure)
• Priority areas for Phase 6+ (content translation for top pages)
• AI translation batch processing recommendations

🛠️ Implementation Guidance

File to Modify

/home/runner/work/homepage/homepage/TRANSLATION_DOCUMENTATION_README.md

Approach

1. *Analyze all 13 -Translation-Status.md files:

   • Extract current file coverage percentages
   • Extract quality scores
   • Identify partially translated pages (English content remaining)
   • Note recent completion phases and milestones

2. Update supported languages table:

   | Flag | Language | Code | Files | Completion | Quality | Guide Version | Status |
   |------|----------|------|-------|------------|---------|---------------|--------|
   | 🇸🇪👑 | Swedish | sv | 77/96 | 80.2% | 77.3% | v3.1 📖 | Status 📊 |

   • Update file counts, completion %, quality % for each language
   • Verify guide versions (most should be v3.1 after vocabulary enhancements)

3. Document Phase 1-5 completion:

   • Swedish ISMS policies: 19 files added (network security, secure dev, crypto, etc.)
   • Blog infrastructure: 12 European language blog files created
   • Korean terminology standardization: 150+ surgical fixes applied

4. Identify top priority pages per language:
   Based on analysis, focus on pages where:

   • Infrastructure exists (HTML, hreflang, Schema.org)
   • Content is partial (50-80% translated with English remaining)
   • High business value (homepage, services, products, top blogs)

5. Add AI translation batch processing section:

   ### AI Translation Batch Processing Workflow
   - Recommended platforms: DeepL Pro (European), Google Cloud Translation (Arabic/Hebrew/Asian)
   - Batch approach: Group by language family for terminology consistency
   - Quality validation: 10-20% native speaker spot-checks
   - Glossary upload: Use v3.1 vocabulary tables from translation guides

6. Update visual Mermaid diagrams:

   • Reflect current completion percentages
   • Update quality score indicators
   • Maintain color-coding (green for 70%+, orange for 50-69%, red for <50%)

7. Verify cross-references:

   • Ensure all links to individual status files work
   • Update relative paths if needed
   • Verify translation guide version references

Data Extraction from Status Files

Key metrics to extract:

Swedish-Translation-Status.md:
