## Goal

Localize one route into a new locale using the existing translation keys.

## Acceptance criteria

- Every string on the route resolves from a key
- The extraction report shows no untranslated literals
- The route is captured rendered in the new locale
- Text expansion does not break the layout

## What lands as proof

A capture in the target locale, which is the only way to catch strings that expanded past their container.

## Questions

### What does the agent actually change?

The ticket is scoped to one outcome: localize one route into a new locale using the existing translation keys. Work that serves that outcome is in scope, and anything outside it is left for a separate ticket, so the pull request stays reviewable.

### How do I know the work is done?

The pull request carries the evidence, not only the diff. Here that means extraction report and a rendered capture of the route, so a reviewer can confirm the result without reproducing the work locally.

### How much oversight does this need?

None is required before the run starts. Every claim this ticket makes can be checked by machine, so the agent works straight through and a person reviews the finished pull request like any other.
