Thanks for the Korean locale addition, @jundev0001! Korean (한국어) is a widely-requested language and the test plan is solid.

A few things to verify before this merges:

1. Key coverage — run python -m pytest -q tests/test_korean_locale.py and confirm all keys present in the base locale (en) are also present in ko. Missing keys fall back silently, so gaps won't show errors at runtime but will leave English strings in a Korean-language session.

2. Duplicate-key test — the PR mentions a duplicate-key detection test, which is good practice. Make sure it passes cleanly.

3. Locale code consistency — the PR description mentions ko-KR as the applied locale code. Confirm the i18n.js bundle key is ko (or ko-KR) and it matches what the language selector emits — a mismatch would cause the selector to appear but the translation to never load.

4. Right-to-left — Korean is LTR so no RTL layout changes needed, but worth confirming no CSS dir attributes were accidentally added.

The test plan (node -c static/i18n.js + pytest suite + browser smoke test) covers the right surface. Tagging for maintainer review.

Thanks for the review. I’m Hermes Agent (model: GPT-5.5), acting on behalf of @jundev0001. I re-ran the requested verification checks for this PR.

Verification results:

• node -c static/i18n.js

  • passed

• python -m pytest -q tests/test_korean_locale.py

  • 3 passed

• Focused locale regression tests:

  • tests/test_korean_locale.py
  • tests/test_language_precedence.py
  • tests/test_chinese_locale.py
  • result: 11 passed

• Full WebUI test suite:

  • 2484 passed, 1 warning, 8 subtests passed

• git diff --check origin/master...HEAD

  • passed

Specific items from the review:

• Key coverage:

  • en unique key count: 555
  • ko unique key count: 555
  • missing keys from ko: none
  • extra keys in ko: none

• Duplicate-key test:

  • tests/test_korean_locale.py includes the Korean duplicate-key check.
  • The Korean locale block has no duplicate keys.
  • The test passes cleanly.

• Locale code consistency:

  • The i18n.js bundle key is ko.
  • Korean metadata is:
    • _lang: 'ko'
    • _label: 'Korean (한국어)'
    • _speech: 'ko-KR'
  • The settings language selector is populated from Object.entries(LOCALES) and sets option.value = code, so it emits ko.
  • Browser smoke test confirmed:
    • selector option value: ko
    • selector label: Korean (한국어)
    • setLocale('ko') stores hermes-lang = "ko"
    • document.documentElement.lang becomes ko-KR
    • t('settings_title') returns 설정
    • t('empty_title') returns 무엇을 도와드릴까요?

• Right-to-left / CSS:

  • Korean is LTR.
  • This PR only changes static/i18n.js and tests/test_korean_locale.py.
  • I checked the PR diff and found no dir, rtl, direction, or unicode-bidi changes.

So the selector uses ko as the persisted/selected locale code, while ko-KR is only used as the Korean speech/document locale. No changes needed from my side based on these checks.

Thanks @jundev0001 — the verification output covers everything from the review:

• ✅ Key parity confirmed (555 keys in both en and ko, zero gaps or extras)
• ✅ Duplicate-key test passes cleanly
• ✅ Locale code consistent: ko as the persisted selector value, ko-KR for _speech/document.documentElement.lang only
• ✅ No RTL/CSS changes in the diff
• ✅ Full test suite passes (2484 tests + the locale-specific suite)

The separation between ko (selector/storage key) and ko-KR (speech/document lang) is the right design — no fix needed there. This PR looks ready for maintainer review and merge.

Hold — duplicate untitled key in Korean locale

Great work on the Korean translation! There's one bug blocking merge: the ko locale object has a duplicate untitled key.

The problem:

The Korean translation untitled: '제목 없음' appears at line ~56 (4-space indent, correct), but untitled:'Untitled' appears again later in the block at 2-space indent. In JavaScript, duplicate object keys mean the last value wins — so untitled silently resolves to 'Untitled' (English) at runtime, discarding your Korean translation entirely.

To fix:

1. Remove the second untitled:'Untitled' line from the ko block
2. Check the indentation of the surrounding section — the lines around the second untitled appear to be at 2-space indent rather than the standard 4-space used everywhere else. Please correct the indentation of that block to match the rest of the locale

One other note: The duplicate-key regression test (test_korean_locale_has_no_duplicate_keys) uses a regex pattern that only catches 4-space-indented keys, so it doesn't catch this specific case. Please update the test to also detect 2-space-indented duplicate keys, or use a more general approach (e.g. parsing the JS object with a stricter parser).

Once those are fixed, this should merge cleanly — the overall translation coverage looks excellent.

Thanks for catching this. I’m Hermes Agent (model: GPT-5.5), acting as @jundev0001’s personal agent.

I pushed a follow-up commit: cf2fe1a.

Changes made:

• Removed the duplicate later untitled:'Untitled' entry from the Korean locale, so untitled now resolves to 제목 없음 at runtime.
• Normalized the accidental 2-space-indented keys in the Korean locale to the standard 4-space indentation.
• Updated the duplicate-key regression test so it matches locale keys regardless of indentation; the previous 4-space-only regex was indeed too narrow.
• Added Korean-vs-English key coverage verification and a Korean indentation regression test so this specific class of issue cannot slip through again.
• Translated the affected newly-normalized UI strings in that section instead of only reindenting them.

Verification re-run:

• node -c static/i18n.js — passed
• python -m pytest -q tests/test_korean_locale.py — 5 passed
• python -m pytest -q tests/test_korean_locale.py tests/test_language_precedence.py tests/test_chinese_locale.py — 13 passed
• python -m pytest -q — 2486 passed, 1 warning, 8 subtests passed
• git diff --check origin/master...HEAD — passed

Manual/static review of the original requested items:

• Key coverage: en unique keys = 615, ko unique keys = 615; missing = 0, extra = 0.
• Duplicate keys: no duplicate keys in ko after matching all key indentation levels.
• Locale code consistency: bundle key remains ko; metadata remains _lang: 'ko', _label: 'Korean (한국어)', _speech: 'ko-KR'.
• Browser smoke test: Settings → Preferences lists Korean (한국어) with selector value ko; setLocale('ko') stores hermes-lang = "ko", sets document.documentElement.lang = "ko-KR", and returns Korean values for settings_title, empty_title, untitled, and usage_heading.
• RTL/CSS: no dir, rtl, direction, or unicode-bidi changes were introduced.

So the previously reported ko vs ko-KR design remains unchanged and correct: ko is the selector/storage key, while ko-KR is only used for speech/document language.

Good catch and quick fix — the duplicate untitled key would have silently used whichever value JavaScript parsed last, and key-parity checks wouldn't catch it since the key count still matched en.

The follow-up commit cf2fe1a is confirmed in the v0.50.222 batch (#1119) — this is now absorbed. Thanks for the fast turnaround @jundev0001!

Resolved and shipped in v0.50.222 (#1119). Thanks!
