# CRITICAL: DO NOT REVIEW LOCALIZATION FILES
6+
7+
These files are managed by a dedicated localization team through a separate workflow.
8+
9+
## Absolute Prohibitions - You MUST NOT:
10+
11+
- ❌ NEVER suggest translating English text to other languages
12+
- ❌ NEVER comment that text should be translated to match the locale
13+
- ❌ NEVER suggest alternative translations or phrasings in any language
14+
- ❌ NEVER comment on language consistency (e.g., "this should be in Arabic")
15+
- ❌ NEVER suggest changing text content for localization purposes
16+
- ❌ NEVER comment on which language should be used
17+
- ❌ NEVER suggest adding or removing message keys
18+
- ❌ NEVER provide language-specific style recommendations
19+
20+
## Why These Files Are Off-Limits:
21+
22+
Translation suggestions make PR pages UNRESPONSIVE and overwhelm human reviewers. The localization team handles all translation work through a separate quality assurance process.
23+
24+
## The ONLY Acceptable Comments:
25+
26+
✅ Critical JSON syntax errors that would break the build (missing commas, unclosed brackets)
27+
✅ Severe grammar errors (ONLY if they would cause user confusion)
28+
29+
## Examples of FORBIDDEN Comments:
30+
31+
- ❌ "This English text should be translated to Arabic"
32+
- ❌ "Translation is missing for this locale"
33+
- ❌ "Consider translating '(No subject)' to '(بدون موضوع)'"
34+
- ❌ "This text is in English but should be in German"
35+
- ❌ "Inconsistent language - use native translation"
36+
37+
If you have ANY doubt about whether to comment on a localization file, DO NOT COMMENT.
38+
39+
Focus your review on actual code files instead.
