The mobile app only ships in English. This adds a Language row to Settings (System default, English, Español, 中文（简体）, Português (Brasil), Français, Deutsch, 日本語, 한국어, Русский), built on gt-react-native. It translates the Settings list and the new Language page, switches live, and persists. It defaults to English. System default follows the device's languages, using the same matching as web (Traditional Chinese tags don't fall back to Simplified).

The setting is a language mobile preference with the same values as the web client setting, so packages/contracts is unchanged. Catalogs are committed JSON in apps/mobile/src/i18n/translations/, so forks and offline installs never hit GT's CDN. vp run i18n:generate refreshes the English source without credentials. Each locale was reviewed by a separate native-speaker copy-edit pass. No Metro or Babel config changed. gt-react-native's Babel plugin only injects Intl polyfills, so src/i18n/intl-polyfills.ts imports the two that GT's locale validation needs on Hermes (Intl.Locale, English Intl.DisplayNames). gt-react-native includes a small native module (device locale list), so this changes the native fingerprint and needs a new dev client or store build. OTA updates stay gated by the fingerprint runtime version.

Two GT behaviors needed handling. GT persists any locale passed to its provider and prefers that over the device, so System default reads the device list from gt-react-native's native module directly. GT also suspends to a full-screen spinner while a catalog loads; the locale goes through useDeferredValue, so the current language stays on screen until the new one is ready.

Verified on an Android 16 emulator with a fresh dev client: switching and persistence across relaunch, System default following a German per-app locale, and no spinner while switching. vp run check:changed passes. Unverified: iOS (no macOS host here), including the device-language read, which skips NSLocale.currentLocale because it reports the app's English bundle language; and the tablet sidebar layout. Out of scope: the overflow tab rows and the stack header titles still use English, as do the other settings pages.

Walkthrough

The mobile app adds localization for settings in English and eight other locales. It resolves the active locale from a saved language preference or device locales. A new settings route lets users choose the system default or a supported locale. Locale-resolution utilities move to the shared client-runtime package and are used by the web app.

Changes: Localization and language settings

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared locale utilities packages/client-runtime/src/locales.ts, packages/client-runtime/package.json, apps/web/src/i18n/*, apps/web/src/components/settings/SettingsPanels.tsx	Adds shared locale-name and locale-resolution utilities. The web app imports these utilities in place of its local implementations.
Mobile locale runtime and preference apps/mobile/gt.config.json, apps/mobile/package.json, apps/mobile/src/i18n/*, apps/mobile/src/persistence/mobile-preferences.ts	Adds locale configuration, translation tooling and catalogs, polyfills, and locale resolution. Preferences now preserve a string language setting.
Translated settings and language selection apps/mobile/src/Stack.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/*	Localizes settings labels and search text, registers a language settings route, and adds a language row that displays the selected locale name or system default.

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 307f3

The Language row is hard to find with an English "language" search when the app is in Japanese. This is a minor gap that can be fixed by adding a search term. Otherwise the change looks safe to merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat(mobile): switch the settings language" matches the main change. The PR adds a Language settings row and page to the mobile app, with live switching and persistence. It follows the conventional commit format from the template. The title is specific and short, so it passes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template sections: Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification. It explains the mobile language setting, the gt-react-native integration, committed translation catalogs, and the native fingerprint impact. It gives Android 16 emulator verification steps and results, and it names what is unverified (iOS, tablet layout). Screenshots are embedded for the UI change. The Problem section is only implied, not stated as a bug or missing feature, and the Scope and approval section does not link an issue or maintainer approval. It also says the change stacks on another PR. These gaps are non-critical for a PASS, but the author should state the problem explicitly and add the approval link or the focused-configuration rationale that the template asks for.
