# I18n for tailscalectl

This plugin is fully instrumented with `I18n.tr(...)` (from `qs.Common`) for all user-facing strings.

- Source keys are the American English strings defined in `lib.js` (returned by `getStrings()`, plus bases from `errorMessage()` / `formatError()`).
- Call sites in `TailscaleWidget.qml` wrap them: `I18n.tr(TailscaleLib.getStrings().foo)` or `I18n.tr(TailscaleLib.getStrings().copied).arg(text)`.
- Today: falls back to the key (perfect en-US).
- Future: Drop additional `xx.json` here (or contribute keys to DMS core translations) when a loader or extraction process supports per-plugin locales.

## Current keys (source of truth)

See `getStrings()` and `errorMessage()` in `lib.js` for the canonical list.

Example `en.json` (for documentation / future tools):

```json
{
  "Tailscale": "Tailscale",
  "Connected": "Connected",
  "Disconnected": "Disconnected",
  "Exit node: ": "Exit node: ",
  "None": "None",
  "Copied %1 to clipboard": "Copied %1 to clipboard",
  "Invalid exit node hostname": "Invalid exit node hostname",
  "Failed to connect to Tailscale": "Failed to connect to Tailscale",
  "Failed to disconnect from Tailscale": "Failed to disconnect from Tailscale",
  "Failed to set exit node": "Failed to set exit node",
  "Failed to read Tailscale status": "Failed to read Tailscale status",
  "Error copying to clipboard": "Error copying to clipboard",
  "Tailscale command failed": "Tailscale command failed"
}
```

## Notes

- Symbols/glyphs ("×", "↗", "—") are intentionally left as literals in the UI (not run through I18n as they are not linguistic content).
- Plugin name/description in `plugin.json` and technical IDs ("tailscalectl") remain English.
- This follows DMS `dms-plugin-dev` best practice for future-proofing even when only en is shipped.
