Proposed changes

Loads Apps-Engine language dictionaries from /api/apps/languages on login + foreground, stores them in a new apps.languages Redux slice, and uses them to translate UIKit blocks, modal titles/buttons, and slash-command subtitles.

  • New: IAppsLanguages/IAppsState, SET_APPS_LANGUAGES action + apps reducer, getAppsLanguages + normalizeAppsLanguages, getAppTranslation helpers (normalize/strip/interpolate + lang fallback xx-YY -> xx -> en)
  • UIKit: translateKey/translateText via auxStore (avoids hook-count change in parser), applied to plain_text/mrkdwn/button/selects/datePicker/modal inputs; textParser now takes optional appId
  • ModalBlockView passes data.appId through; slash autocomplete passes command.appId and translates subtitle with RN fallback
  • Sagas: fetch on login success, refetch on foreground (picks up installs/updates); 404/older servers non-fatal (fallback to literal)

Issue(s)

How to test or reproduce

  1. Log in to a server with Apps installed that ship languages (e.g. poll app with cmd_description key).
  2. Set profile language (e.g. pt-BR) and check a slash command autocomplete subtitle resolves to the translated string.
  3. Open an App UIKit modal / message blocks with i18n keys and confirm title, buttons, selects, inputs render translated.
  4. Switch language / background-foreground the app and confirm refetch picks up installs/updates.
  5. Against a server without the endpoint (older / no Apps engine): confirm no crash, blocks fall back to literal text.

Screenshots

Types of changes

  • Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Improvement (non-breaking change which improves a current function)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Documentation update (if none of the other choices apply)

Checklist

  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING doc
  • I have signed the CLA
  • Lint and unit tests pass locally with my changes
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works (if applicable)
  • I have added necessary documentation (if applicable)
  • Any dependent changes have been merged and published in downstream modules

Further comments

  • Endpoint lives under the Apps-Engine prefix (/api/apps/languages), outside the /api/v1 base the SDK REST client targets, so it uses custom fetch with X-Auth-Token/X-User-Id like /api/info.
  • Servers without the Apps engine (or older than the endpoint) 404 here; every consumer falls back to the block's literal text, so this is non-fatal.
  • Redux-only (in-memory), no WatermelonDB migration.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for loading and storing app-specific language dictionaries.
    • App translations now support normalized language codes, regional fallbacks, English fallback, and placeholder interpolation.
    • UIKit elements, modal text, and slash-command descriptions can display app-specific translations.
    • App language data refreshes after login and when returning to the foreground.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved translation fallback behavior for missing app dictionaries or keys.
    • Slash-command autocomplete now preserves app context when resolving localized descriptions.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds app language loading, Redux storage, app-scoped translation helpers, and translation-aware UIKit and slash-command rendering. App languages load after login and foreground recovery.

Changes

App language loading and translation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Language fetch and Redux state
app/actions/*, app/definitions/*, app/lib/methods/getAppsLanguages.ts, app/reducers/*, app/sagas/*
Adds app language types, actions, reducer state, API fetching, language normalization, and login or foreground refresh flows.
App translation resolution
app/lib/methods/helpers/getAppTranslation.ts, app/containers/UIKit/translate.ts, app/containers/UIKit/utils.ts, app/**/*test.ts
Adds app-key prefix handling, language fallback, interpolation, Redux-backed translation lookup, RN dictionary fallback, and related tests.
UIKit and command integration
app/containers/UIKit/index.tsx, app/containers/MessageComposer/*, app/views/ModalBlockView.tsx
Passes app IDs through UIKit and modal text parsing. Slash-command autocomplete now resolves app-specific subtitles.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cf9c9

This change loads app translations into the client, but overlapping refreshes can show outdated dictionaries and some UIKit input, select, and date-picker text can display the wrong or untranslated label. These correctness issues should be addressed before merge.

Add explicit return types to the six functions.

Use string for normalizeAppLanguage, interpolate, textParser, and plainText; the inferred Jest mock type for mockState; and ReactElement for AutocompleteSlashCommand. This follows the repository’s TypeScript convention and existing component pattern.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not re-resolve translated placeholder and option keys.

translateElement keeps each i18n descriptor after it writes the resolved app translation. app/containers/UIKit/DatePicker.tsx and app/containers/UIKit/Select.tsx then call textParser without an app ID. If an app key also exists in the RN dictionary, those controls replace the app translation with the RN translation.

Create final translated IText values without i18n, or pass the resolved app ID through both consumers. Add a collision test for a placeholder and an option key.

Use the context app ID for plain_input placeholders.

IElement.appId is optional. When a plain input inherits its app ID from KitContext, this call passes undefined and skips the app dictionary. Use appId || useKitAppId() so this renderer matches the button and select renderers.

Prevent stale language responses from overwriting newer state.

getAppsLanguages() can run from both app/sagas/login.js and app/sagas/state.js. An older request can resolve after a newer request, a logout, or a server change. Line 42 then stores that older response in the current Redux state.

Serialize or cancel refreshes, or add a request-generation and current-server/current-user check before dispatching. Add a regression test that resolves an older request after a newer request and confirms that the older payload is ignored.
