  • Create GoogleTranslate component with custom dropdown UI (globe icon + "Language: English" + dropdown with "English" and "Español" options)
  • Add component styles (GoogleTranslate/styles.scss)
  • Load Google Translate script in layout.tsx via next/script
  • Add GoogleTranslate component to sidebar above Documentation link in LayoutSidebarContent.tsx
  • Update CSP in middleware.ts to allow Google Translate domains (translate.google.com, gstatic.com)
  • Add LANGUAGE_SET tracking event to tracking.ts
  • Update fetch-network-limits.mjs to gracefully fall back to cached file when network is unavailable
  • TypeScript compiles clean, ESLint passes, all unit tests pass, Next.js build succeeds
Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Add Internationalization (i18n) + language switch monitoring</issue_title>
<issue_description>

What problem does your feature solve?

Stellar Lab currently only supports English, limiting accessibility for Spanish-speaking developers ahead of Stellar House Mexico City in April. Adding Spanish (es) as a first-class language aligns Lab with Stellar’s Spanish-language docs and Stella AI bot, reducing friction for Spanish speaking builders.

What would you like to see?

  • Internationalization (i18n) for Spanish (es) as the first non-English language using a Next.js-compatible library (e.g., next-intl), with dynamic and a language switcher in the header

  • Monitoring via a new LANGUAGE_SET tracking event in the existing Amplitude setup, mirroring the THEME_SET pattern, to measure how many builders use the Spanish switch during the event and inform whether to add other languages ahead of regional events - tracking.ts:92-99, LayoutHeader.tsx:171-176

What alternatives are there?

  • Keep Lab tool as is and rely on browser translation tools

<agent_instructions>Take a look at this PR, which added a Google Translate integration to the Docusaurus documentation site. stellar/stellar-docs@100ee1a

Add the Google Translate language switcher to the sidebar of Lab above the Documentation link like it appears here in the screenshot of the design: #1880 (comment)

For now we don't need to add the full i18n and monitoring that the original issue requested because the Google Translate language switcher may accomplish our goal of language switching for Lab</agent_instructions>

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@oceans404 ## Design

Lab needs a language switcher on every page - potentially in the header. Once a user selects their language, they stay within that language as they navigate through Lab.

  • Globe icon (🌐) as the trigger — universally recognized for language selection
  • No flags — flags represent countries, not languages (Spanish alone covers 20+ countries)
  • Display languages in their native name — "Español" not "Spanish"
