Define a glossary schema and a six-field base style guide that map to Locize while preserving Netsuke's established localization contracts. Index both documents beside the translator guide so maintainers can keep the local source of truth synchronized with the hosted project.
Use product-independent localization filenames and update the documentation index and cross-references to match.
Remove every Locize reference from the glossary, style guide, and documentation index, reframing both documents as Netsuke's own localization references rather than records mirrored into a hosted project. Drop the `en` reference-language caveat along with them: `locales/en-US/messages.ftl` is now stated directly as authoritative. Expand the glossary from one table to five, organized by domain (product names, build-model concepts, template language, localization concepts, CLI and diagnostic vocabulary), and add localizability notes explaining which terms resist translation, which are loan words, and which distinctions (`target`/`action`/`rule`) must survive in every language. Add a `Locale terminology` section ready to receive per-locale term mappings. Rebuild the style guide around the voice/tone split: an invariant voice, tone by content type keyed to the source catalogue's message families, register and address-form rules per locale, cross-locale grammar and mechanics, locale-integrity rules, machine-readable output constraints, and a translator quality checklist, with sources for the practices adopted.
Extend the localization glossary with a researched terminology section
for every shipped locale. Each section records the address form and
register with authoritative sources (Microsoft localization style
guides, GNOME/KDE/Mozilla translation-team guidelines, GNU Make
translations, and vendor documentation in the target language), the
loan words the locale's technical writing conventionally keeps, false
friends and mechanical hazards (the `manifest`/manifesto collision,
Turkish dotted/dotless `i`, right-to-left direction marks, Persian
zero-width non-joiners, Romanian comma-below diacritics, solid
compounding in the Germanic languages), a worked example translating
`Failed to load manifest at { $path }.`, and a 23-term table keeping
`target`, `action`, and `rule` as three distinct words. Terms with no
attested precedent are flagged as coined rather than presented as
established.
Address two review comments on the style guide: narrow the
locale-integrity rule so only literal values that form part of a
machine-readable contract are frozen, and expand BCP 47 to
"Best Current Practice 47" on first use.
Disable markdownlint's MD060 table-column-style rule: table alignment
is owned by `mdformat-all`, whose padding disagrees with MD060's
display-width model for RTL and Indic scripts and combining marks, so
the two tools cannot both be satisfied on the new multilingual tables.
The Netsuke row's allowed cell listed "crate" among the lowercase `netsuke` uses, which invited confusion with the crates.io package name: ADR-007 publishes the package as `netsuke-build` and reserves `netsuke` for the binary, library target, command, man page, and operating-system package. Replace "crate" with "library target" and "OS package", and add a `netsuke-build` row restricting that name to `cargo install`/`cargo binstall` commands, forbidding `netsuke` for the Cargo package and the `netsuke_build` underscore variant, so translators cannot produce invalid installation commands such as `cargo install netsuke`.
The locale-integrity bullet protected "literal values that form part of a machine-readable contract", which a translator or translation automation could read as covering whole message values, contradicting the instruction to translate explanatory prose. Scope it to the translator guide's established category — the literal option values it lists as identifiers (`auto`, `always`, `never`, `on`, `off`) — and state that the tokens stay untranslated even inside otherwise-translatable prose, matching messages such as `cli.validation.color.invalid`.
Disabling MD060 repository-wide in `.markdownlint-cli2.jsonc` removed table-alignment checking from every Markdown file to accommodate one. Restore the repository-level default and suppress the rule only where the conflict is real: `docs/localization-glossary.md` now carries a `markdownlint-disable-file MD060` directive with a comment recording why. Re-enabling the rule reports 53 violations, all in that file, so no other document needs the exception. Document the arrangement in the developers' guide: which tool owns table padding and paragraph wrapping, why MD060's display-width model and `mdtablefix`'s padding cannot both be satisfied for right-to-left, Indic, and combining-mark scripts, and the expectation that contributors scope future suppressions to a file or line rather than the whole repository.
`mdtablefix` reflows the rationale comment as a paragraph, which folded the closing `-->` and the directive that followed it onto one line. Put the `markdownlint-disable-file` directive first, on its own line, and separate the rationale with a blank line so each is its own paragraph. The arrangement is now a formatter fixpoint.

Summary
This branch defines Netsuke's localization glossary and translation style
guide so terminology, voice, and localization constraints can be maintained
consistently across every shipped locale. Both documents are vendor-neutral:
locales/en-US/messages.ftlis the authoritative source catalogue.The glossary records preferred, allowed, and forbidden source-language terms
across five domains (product names, build-model concepts, template language,
localization concepts, and CLI/diagnostic vocabulary), explains which terms
resist translation and why, and adds a researched terminology section for each
of the 34 shipped locales. Each locale section documents the address form and
register with cited sources, conventional loan words, false friends and
mechanical hazards, a worked example preserving the
{ $path }placeable, anda 23-term table that keeps
target,action, andruleas three distinctwords.
The style guide captures the house voice, tone by content type keyed to the
source catalogue's message families, formality and register rules per locale,
cross-locale grammar and mechanics, locale-integrity rules (including BCP 47
variant preservation), machine-readable output constraints, and a translator
quality checklist.

Research method
Each locale section was researched against authoritative sources: the
Microsoft localization style guides, GNOME/KDE/Mozilla/Ubuntu translation-team
guidelines, GNU Make and other established tool translations in the target
language, national terminology bodies (TermCymru, FUEL, Språkrådet, KBBI), and
vendor documentation in the target locale. Terms with no attested precedent
are flagged as coined rather than presented as established.
