Description

Summary

Review i18n language coverage for the target wikis to ensure hCaptcha messages are available in the relevant languages.

Background

We need to confirm that hCaptcha and related interface messages are properly localized for the languages used on the target wikis.
Gaps in translation may impact user experience, especially during the trial rollout.

Specifications

Target languages are:

French Wikipedia
Portuguese Wikipedia
Chinese Wikipedia
Persian Wikipedia
Japanese Wikipedia
Turkish Wikipedia
Indonesian Wikipedia

User story

As staff, I want to verify language coverage so users can interact with hCaptcha in their local language.

Acceptance criteria

Language coverage for target wikis reviewed

This can be checked by looking at https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:MessageGroupStats?group=ext-confirmedit&messages=&x=D and https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:MessageGroupStats?group=ext-confirmedithcaptcha&messages=&x=D

Looks like most are translated but needs the following still to be translated:

Portuguese - hcaptcha-privacy-policy
Japanese - hcaptcha-privacy-policy and hcaptcha-addurl (outdated translation)
Chinese (both simplified and traditional) - hcaptcha-privacy-policy
Traditional Chinese - hcaptcha-addurl is outdated.

If we add more messages that list will change, but that is as it stands.
