Summary

Part of MOCA-291. Android screens that still showed hard-coded English to Chinese users. This complements #2296 (Live calls, browser/computer control, Chief of Staff badge), whose files are left untouched. This PR covers the other screens noted in that issue's follow-up comment.

  • 51 new strings with Simplified and Traditional Chinese, reusing the iOS catalog and desktop wording where it exists. They cover the Claude update card, the chat header call button, voice notes, the activity Success/Error badge, expand/collapse states, edit queued message, search-hit labels, the routine report card, the webhook bubble, table row counts, Settings Appearance/Skin and Snooze.
  • About 30 call sites moved off literals, some onto strings the catalog already had but nobody used (Snooze, Done, Cancel, Copy, Expand/Collapse, Stop the current turn, New group).
  • 24 missing LocalizedCopy.kt entries: text that already went through localizedMobileCopy but had no entry, so it stayed English. Examples: the Threads/Routines headers and footers, "waiting for your answer", the pairing screen's local-discovery errors and file-preview errors.
  • Skin names stay English on purpose, matching desktop.
  • Guard: HardCodedCopyTest scans ui/*.kt for English literals in Text, contentDescription, stateDescription and onClickLabel, and in helpers that translate internally, and spot-checks zh-rCN and zh-rTW. It has a 3-entry commented allowlist. fix(android): live calls and browser control speak the phone's language #2296's files are skipped until it lands; remove the skip then.

Still English, follow-up: "Untitled thread", default quick-reply chip titles, "Preview truncated", "(Unavailable)", and a couple of non-UI errors. The Live call disclosure in LiveCallSettingsSheet.kt has its string added here, but its call site is in #2296.

Translations to double-check: 事件数据 / 事件資料 ("Event payload"), 主题 / 外觀主題 ("Skin", taken from desktop), and the routine header lines.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Localization

    • Added Simplified and Traditional Chinese translations for labels and messages across chat, calls, search, tasks, settings, updates, and other screens.
    • Localized interface text and accessibility descriptions that were previously shown only in English.
  • Tests

    • Added checks to verify interface copy is localized and key text appears in both Chinese locales.

…e (MOCA-291)

Some Android screens wrote their copy straight into Kotlin, or handed
English to localizedMobileCopy with no catalog entry, so a phone set to
Simplified or Traditional Chinese still showed English.

They now come from strings.xml: the Claude update card, voice note
controls, "via call", the routine report card, the webhook task bubble,
table row counts, the Appearance / Skin settings, queued-message and
snooze buttons, the chat header's call and thread labels, expand and
collapse states, and search hit labels. Copy that policy helpers pass to
localizedMobileCopy gains its missing entries: the Threads & Routines
headers and footers, "waiting for your answer", the overview error,
the connected-apps footer, the cloud computer notes, the Live call
disclosure, and the pairing screen's local discovery problems.

51 new strings with Simplified and Traditional Chinese, reusing the iOS
and desktop wording where it exists; the rest of the fixes reuse strings
the catalog already had. Skin names stay as written, like the desktop.
Live calls and browser control are left to PR #2296.

…(MOCA-291)

HardCodedCopyTest scans ui/*.kt for English literals in Text(...),
contentDescription, stateDescription and onClickLabel; for literals given
to helpers that run localizedMobileCopy (FormSection, ActionRow,
SettingsRow, header/footer/title = ..., error messages) that have no
catalog entry; and for policy constants shown on screen whose value the
catalog doesn't know. A short, commented allowlist covers the exceptions.
It also renders a few of the fixed strings on zh-rCN and zh-rTW phones.

The Live call and browser control screens are skipped while PR #2296,
which has its own guard for them, is open.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Android UI labels and accessibility descriptions now use string resources or localized-copy mappings. The default, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese catalogs include the added strings. Tests scan UI source for uncatalogued English copy and verify localized rendering.

Localization catalog and validation
android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/openmausbot/companion/ui/LocalizedCopy.kt, android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml, android/app/src/main/res/values-b+zh+Hans/strings.xml, android/app/src/main/res/values-b+zh+Hant/strings.xml, android/app/src/test/kotlin/com/openmausbot/companion/ui/HardCodedCopyTest.kt
Added localized copy mappings and strings across the three catalogs. Added source checks for hard-coded English UI text and Compose tests for Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Use the localized status in the TalkBack announcement.

For Chinese locales, the chip’s contentDescription still includes the English status because ActivityReceipt.announcement uses the fixed English label. Pass the localized status to the announcement.

Detect braced conditional accessibility labels.

The CONDITION pattern does not match if (...) { "…" }. The new scan therefore misses "Stop dictation" and "Start dictation" in android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/openmausbot/companion/ui/ChatScreen.kt at Lines 2103–2109. Those descriptions remain English for Chinese TalkBack users. Extend the scan to cover braced branches, add a regression fixture, and use the existing dictation string resources at that call site.

Brings in 21 commits from main, including #2296 (Android live calls and
browser control speak the phone's language) and #2300 (keep Android
dictation listening through a client error). This branch already held
#2362 and #2363 through earlier merges, so most conflicts were the same
lines arriving twice.

Conflicts and how each was resolved:

- android/core/src/main/kotlin/com/openmausbot/companion/core/Session.kt (2 hunks): main's side is the
  squashed #2363 (frames folded per 50 ms batch), which this branch
  already had. Kept this branch's side, which is #2363 plus the offline
  copy: saveOfflineCopy() after a fresh hello, scheduleOfflineSave()
  after each batch. Every line main added is present.
- android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/openmausbot/companion/ui/TaskSheet.kt (1 hunk): main's side is #2362's
  localized snooze contentDescription, which this branch already had.
  Kept this branch's `changes` gate (enabled && writable) on the snooze
  tint, so snooze stays greyed out on the saved copy.
- android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml,
  values-b+zh+Hans/strings.xml, values-b+zh+Hant/strings.xml
  (1 hunk each): kept both sides. This branch's four offline strings
  (mobile_offline_banner, mobile_offline_reconnect_to_send/_answer/
  _change) come first, then #2296's 58 live call and browser control
  strings. No ID was changed by both sides; no duplicates.

No new write path came in from main: #2296 only moves copy into
localizedMobileCopy and the string catalog, and #2300 only changes the
dictation recognizer. Both merged without conflict.

…hones

Upstream's last mobile work before the Cleanup, merged into the redesign:

- iOS milind-soni#2351 (rows that do not redraw on every update) solved the same
  problem as this fork's Equatable MessageRow and session-free rows. Ours
  stays; upstream's TranscriptRows.swift and MessagePresentation are
  dropped. Its redraw probe is ported onto MessageRow so its stricter
  ResponsivenessUITests budgets run against our rows, and its screenshot
  downsampling (decode at the drawn width, cached) is ported into ScreenShot.
- milind-soni#2359: stacked question options, answers typed into a question card and
  from the composer ("Answer Pepper…", Submit answer), on both platforms,
  styled for the redesign. The header keeps the redesign's name pill on
  both platforms, so upstream's Threads chip and its tests are not taken.
- Android milind-soni#2363 frame batching and fleet-keyed Home folds alongside our
  per-thread caches; tests that wait for stream state advance the batch
  window as upstream's do (StreamBatches.waitForStream).
- Android milind-soni#2362 translations, milind-soni#2300, milind-soni#2296 and the Computer engine removal
  (milind-soni#2329) merged; HardCodedCopyTest now passes (debug animation labels
  dropped, digest copy and expand states translated).
- Server: Computer engine removal is authoritative; the fork's Full-access
  refusal reasons, omp driver and Cua Spaces backend kept on top.
- ChatView.body split into screen and lifecycle, and the table width key
  typed, to stay under the 500 ms type-check budget CI enforces.
