📋 Overview

This guide provides comprehensive translation standards and terminology for the Riksdagsmonitor platform across all 14 supported languages. It ensures consistency, accuracy, and cultural appropriateness in all language variants.

📰 News articles are translated out-of-band

News articles are not localised by the workflow that generates them. The per-type news workflows (news-propositions, news-motions, news-committee-reports, news-interpellations, news-evening-analysis, news-realtime-monitor, news-week-ahead, news-month-ahead, news-weekly-review, news-monthly-review) each run the two-step aggregate-then-render pipeline (scripts/aggregate-analysis.ts → analysis/daily/$DATE/$SUB/article.md → scripts/render-articles.ts + scripts/render-lib/) to emit exactly two rendered files per article:

  • news/$DATE-$SUB-en.html (English master)
  • news/$DATE-$SUB-sv.html (Swedish master)

The remaining 12 language variants (da, nb, fi, de, fr, es, nl, ar, he, ja, ko, zh) are produced exclusively by the standalone news-translate workflow, which:

  1. Reads the rendered *-en.html and *-sv.html artifacts (never the markdown).
  2. Prompts an LLM with the terminology tables in this guide.
  3. Writes sibling *-$LANG.html files back into news/.

No other workflow — and no other contributor process — writes localised article HTML. This decoupling means:

  • Editorial changes to a news article ripple through all 14 languages in a single translation pass.
  • Terminology drift is detectable: a single news-translate regression only affects non-EN/SV languages.
  • The 14 top-level index_*.html pages and political-intelligence_*.html pages remain hand-translated (that workflow is not in scope here).

When translating HTML that has already been rendered, do not modify <pre class="mermaid"> blocks — the Mermaid diagram source is a syntactic DSL that must survive untouched. Translate the adjacent <figcaption> and <details> fallback blocks instead.

🔍 Translation Validation

Automated Checks

Run these commands before committing translations:

# HTML validation
htmlhint *.html

# Main site translations (index files)
npm run validate-translations

# News article translations
npm run validate-news

# Run all validation checks together
npm run validate-all

# Check language attributes
for file in index*.html; do 
  echo "=== $file ==="
  grep 'lang=' "$file" | head -1
done

# Check RTL attributes
grep 'dir="rtl"' index_ar.html index_he.html

# Link checking
python3 -m http.server 8080 &
linkinator http://localhost:8080/ --recurse

Translation Validation for News Articles

News articles are generated by agentic workflows with Swedish content from the Riksdag API. These workflows must translate all Swedish content to the target language.

Check for untranslated markers:

# Validate all news articles
npm run validate-news

# Check specific articles
node scripts/validate-news-translations.js news/

# Look for untranslated markers manually
grep -r 'data-translate="true"' news/*.html

Expected output if validation passes:

✓ Fully translated: N (number of articles)
✅ ALL ARTICLES FULLY TRANSLATED

If validation fails, you'll see:

✗ 2026-02-15-committee-reports-de.html (DE)
  Found 10 untranslated marker(s)
  Samples:
    1. "Bättre förutsättningar att sända ut statlig personal"
    2. "Ett register för alla bostadsrätter"

To fix untranslated markers:

  1. Open the file listed
  2. Find <span data-translate="true" lang="sv">Swedish text</span>
  3. Translate the Swedish text to the article's language
  4. Replace: <span data-translate="true" lang="sv">Swedish text</span> → Translated text
  5. Consult Section E below for document type translations
  6. Run npm run validate-news again to verify

Manual Review

  • Native speaker review (preferred)
  • Cultural appropriateness check
