Localization

Guidance for translating Autopilot docs and keeping the CLI accessible globally.

Localization

Autopilot currently ships in English, but the content structure is intentionally easy to translate.

Translation Strategy

• Keep command names unchanged.
• Translate descriptive text, not code examples.
• Preserve file names and config keys exactly as written.
• Keep headings stable so links remain predictable.

What Should Stay in English

• CLI commands such as autopilot start.
• Config keys such as blockedBranches.
• Git terms that are standard across developer tooling.

What Can Be Localized

• Descriptive paragraphs.
• Onboarding guidance.
• Troubleshooting explanations.
• Roadmap commentary.

Practical Tips

• Use short sections so translation diffs stay manageable.
• Keep examples simple and language-neutral.
• Review screenshots or callouts for text overflow in right-to-left or longer-language layouts.
