i18n Gap Backlog

This file tracks localization parity gaps and closure state.

Last updated: 2026-02-24.

Baseline Definition

Gap baseline = top-level English docs set under docs/*.md (excluding README/SUMMARY locale variants and legacy *.vi.md shims) compared against docs/i18n/<locale>/.

Current Gap Counts

Locale	Missing top-level docs parity count	Current status
zh-CN	0	Full top-level parity (bridge + localized)
ja	0	Full top-level parity (bridge + localized)
ru	0	Full top-level parity (bridge + localized)
fr	0	Full top-level parity (bridge + localized)
vi	0	Full top-level parity
el	0	Full top-level parity

Closure Record (2026-02-24)

Completed in this PR stream:

• Wave 1 runtime localization for zh-CN/ja/ru/fr:
  • commands-reference.md
  • providers-reference.md
  • channels-reference.md
  • config-reference.md
  • operations-runbook.md
  • troubleshooting.md
• Full closure for remaining top-level docs in zh-CN/ja/ru/fr via localized bridge pages.
• Full top-level parity already maintained for vi and el.

Remaining Gaps (Baseline Scope)

• None. Top-level baseline gaps are closed for all supported locales.

Optional Next Depth

These are not baseline blockers, but can be advanced in future waves:

• fuller narrative translation depth for the 33 enhanced bridge pages in each of zh-CN/ja/ru/fr
• locale-specific examples (commands/config snippets) where operational behavior differs by provider/channel environment

Tracking Rules

1. Keep this file date-stamped and append major closure checkpoints.
2. If new top-level English docs are added, re-run parity count and update this file in the same PR.
3. Keep locale navigation parity complete when adding/removing locales.
