News Index Pages - Language Indicators & Fallback Notices ✅

🎯 Problem Statement

The 14 news index pages (news/index*.html) were not clearly indicating that content was only available in English/Swedish, causing potential confusion for users accessing non-EN/SV language versions.

✅ All PR Review Feedback - ADDRESSED

Round 1 Issues (Commit d3a4bf9):

✅ Missing CSS in AR/HE - Added .language-notice and .language-badge styles
✅ RTL bidi isolation - Wrapped English text with 
✅ Accessibility improvements - Enhanced badges with aria-label and aria-hidden
✅ RTL badge positioning - Added [dir="rtl"] margin CSS
✅ Badge dir attribute - Applied dir="ltr" to badges in RTL pages

Round 2 Issues (Latest commit):

✅ CSS indentation - Fixed .language-notice from 8 to 4 spaces (AR/HE)
✅ Empty line removal - Removed unnecessary line break in CSS grouping (AR/HE)

📊 Implementation Details

CSS Formatting Fixes:

/* Before (8 spaces) */
        .language-notice {

/* After (4 spaces) */
    .language-notice {

Empty Line Removal:

/* Before - breaks CSS grouping */
    [dir="rtl"] .language-badge {
      margin-right: 0.5rem;
    }
    

    /* RTL-specific styles */

/* After - consistent grouping */
    [dir="rtl"] .language-badge {
      margin-right: 0.5rem;
    }
    
    /* RTL-specific styles */

✅ Quality Assurance

HTML Validation:

npx htmlhint news/index_{ar,he}.html

+      <strong>📢 ملاحظة:</strong> المحتوى متاح حالياً باللغة الإنجليزية. المقالات المحلية باللغة العربية قادمة قريباً. • <em>Content currently available in English. Localized Arabic articles coming soon.</em>


This RTL notice mixes Arabic (RTL) with an English sentence (LTR) without any bidi isolation, which can cause punctuation/ordering issues in RTL rendering. Wrap the English portion in a bdi/span with dir="ltr" (and consider isolating the bullet separator) to keep the layout/read order stable.

📢 ملاحظة: المحتوى متاح حالياً باللغة الإنجليزية. المقالات المحلية باللغة العربية قادمة قريباً. • Content currently available in English. Localized Arabic articles coming soon.

Fixed in d3a4bf9. Added  wrapper around English text and bullet separator in Arabic notice to properly isolate LTR content and prevent bidi ordering issues.

          <div class="article-meta">

+            <span class="language-badge" title="Article language: English">🇬🇧 EN</span>


In RTL layout, 🇬🇧 EN should be bidi-isolated; otherwise the badge can appear in the wrong visual order relative to surrounding RTL metadata. Consider adding dir="ltr" (or bdi) on the badge content, and when you add CSS for this file also swap the spacing from margin-left to margin-right under [dir="rtl"].

🇬🇧 EN

Fixed in d3a4bf9. Added dir="ltr" attribute to language badge and RTL-specific CSS rule [dir="rtl"] .language-badge { margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0.5rem; } to swap spacing for proper RTL layout.

+      <strong>📢 הערה:</strong> התוכן זמין כעת באנגלית. מאמרים מקומיים בעברית יגיעו בקרוב. • <em>Content currently available in English. Localized Hebrew articles coming soon.</em>
+    </div>


language-notice and language-badge are used here, but this file does not define corresponding CSS rules (and they’re not present in the shared styles), so the banner/badge will render unstyled on the Hebrew page. Add the same .language-notice / .language-badge styles as the other localized news pages (and include RTL tweaks).

Fixed in d3a4bf9. Added complete CSS for .language-notice and .language-badge to Hebrew file, including RTL-specific badge spacing rule.

+      font-size: 0.7rem;
+      color: #b0b0b0;
+      margin-left: 0.5rem;
+    }


The .language-notice / .language-badge CSS is duplicated across many news/index_*.html files in this PR, which already led to an inconsistency (AR/HE missing styles). To reduce drift and make future updates safer, consider moving these shared rules into the global styles.css (or another shared stylesheet) and keeping only per-language overrides inline.

Acknowledged. CSS is now consistent across all 12 language files including AR/HE. While duplication exists, all files now have complete, identical styles which prevents drift. Moving to shared styles.css can be considered as future enhancement if desired, but current approach is maintainable and working well.

news/index_zh.html

          <div class="article-meta">
            <time class="article-date" datetime="${article.date}">${formatDate(article.date)}</time>
            <span class="article-type">${typeLabels[article.type] || article.type}</span>
+            <span class="language-badge" title="Article language: English">🇬🇧 EN</span>


The language badge relies on a title tooltip and an emoji+abbreviation for conveying meaning. title is not consistently exposed to assistive tech and doesn’t work on many touch devices; for WCAG-friendly labeling, add an accessible text alternative (e.g., aria-label and/or visually-hidden text) and consider marking the flag emoji as decorative (aria-hidden). Apply consistently across all pages adding this badge.

🇬🇧 EN

Fixed in d3a4bf9. Enhanced all badges with aria-label="Article language: English" for accessible name and marked emoji as decorative with 🇬🇧. Applied consistently across all 12 language files.

Minor formatting inconsistency: The .language-notice rule has extra leading whitespace (8 spaces instead of 4) compared to all other CSS rules and compared to the non-RTL language files. For consistency, this should align with the surrounding CSS indentation level.

Empty line 269 appears unnecessary and breaks the CSS grouping pattern. Consider removing it to maintain consistent CSS structure with the other language files.
