Replaced English fallback with proper Japanese, Korean, and Chinese
translations for all 27 ALT_* website locale keys. All 15 locale
files now fully translated; npm run verify and build pass cleanly.
- Add article-style comparison pages for Teleparty and Screen Sharing
- Replace comparison tables with honest prose sections
- Add 15-language hreflang alternates and sitemap entries
- Add English locale fallback for untranslated languages
- Replace placeholder Draft copy with real English and German text
- Remove old Draft locale keys from all 13 non-EN/DE locales
- Rebuild outputs with zero TODO/Draft/noindex issues
Add two new languages (uk, zh / zh_CN) across the extension and website:
register them in SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES, the Chrome _locales map, the website
build/lang-init/app routing, hreflang/og/schema tags and language selectors.
Fix systematic machine-translation word-sense errors in the new zh/uk
locales (e.g. zh "Status"=地位→状态, "Leave Room"=留出空间→离开房间,
"Play"=玩→播放, "Seek"=寻找→跳转, audio Attack/Release/Knee; uk "Play"=Грати
→Відтворити, "Clear"=ЯСНО→Очистити, "Open"=ВІДЧИНЕНО→Відкрити, peers
"Однолітки"→"Учасники"), translate remaining English leftovers (Room ID,
Custom) and normalise terminology. All 15 locales pass test-locales.cjs.
Note: popup.html and website/template.html also carry the language-selector
additions here; their Ko-Fi→Support label text is part of the branding change.

HowTo schema was hardcoded English — now uses {{HOWTO_*}}
placeholders. All 3 rich-result schemas are now locale-aware:
- FAQPage (expandable SERP snippets)
- HowTo (step-by-step SERP snippets)
- SoftwareApplication (entity understanding)
SoftwareApplication and Organization use language-neutral
brand name — no locale keys needed.
- FAQPage schema now uses {{FAQ_Q1}}..{{FAQ_A6}} placeholders
instead of hardcoded English — each language gets its own
schema for locale-matched Google Rich Snippets
- Q6 updated across all 6 languages: 'What if I don't trust
the official server?' + self-hosting Docker mention
- Added pure Node.js dynamic i18n static site generator (build.js).
