A language selector should not lie
A language menu that changes the label but leaves the page in English is worse than no menu. The sheet now opens real translated pages in every locale, and every language is live.
What opens now
English remains the source. The nine other locales open translated home, work, services, about, notes, contact, case studies, and service detail pages. Arabic is right to left. Manrope carries Latin and Cyrillic; Noto Arabic and Noto Devanagari are self-hosted.
The sheet links to the matching page in the selected language, including a case study, note, or service detail. Every language is marked live.
What stays in English
The legal documents stay in English with a localized notice. That is a deliberate rule so the binding text has one version. The public studio copy, forms, case studies, notes, and service pages all have translated routes.
The review is complete
The nine translations were reviewed in context and held up. The review removed the preview label from every locale.
The route, metadata, font stack, right to left layout, and sitemap entry are in place for all nine locales. There is no pending review label.
The English page is the source
The copy was written for the site, in plain language, for business owners who are not engineers. The translated pages are derived from that copy and have been reviewed. That is the standard the menu is holding.
