Description

This PR improves the Japanese locale across 15 namespaces.

  • Translates 21 values that were still identical to the English source.
  • Corrects 162 mistranslations, unnatural phrases, untranslated fragments, and terminology inconsistencies.
  • Uses the canonical Japanese feature terms for Cycle, Module, Page, and work item while preserving do-not-translate names such as Plane, Intake, Sticky, Power K, GitHub, and GitLab.
  • Preserves ICU variables and tags, and updates touched Japanese plural messages to include the project-required one and other branches.
  • Does not add, remove, or rename any locale keys.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Improvement (change that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Code refactoring
  • Performance improvements
  • Documentation update

Screenshots and Media (if applicable)

Not applicable. This is a locale-only change.

Test Scenarios

  • pnpm --filter @plane/i18n run check:sync
    • All locales contain 3,837 keys and are fully synchronized with English.
  • pnpm --filter @plane/i18n run check:types
  • pnpm exec oxfmt --check <15 changed Japanese locale files>
  • Parsed every changed message as ICU and verified matching argument/tag inventories.
  • Verified Plane's do-not-translate terminology in all changed strings.
  • git diff --check

References

  • Japanese localization quality improvement; no related issue.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f0604

The PR only changes Japanese locale text and preserves keys, variables, tags, and synchronization, but several user-facing strings still contain bounded translation and terminology issues, including an omitted irreversibility warning and untranslated examples. It is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to correct those strings; no broader production risk is indicated.

Use the analytics feature instead of configuring it.

分析機能を設定し means “configure analytics.” The intended behavior is to set deadlines and use analytics to track phase completion. Replace it with 期限を設定し、分析機能を使って.

Use the established 連携 terminology for the GitHub organization action.

The surrounding GitHub strings use 連携, but this label uses 接続 for the same action. Use the approved product term consistently.

Use one term for the search feature.

Use the canonical term 作業項目 for work items.

The changed descriptions use タスク, while the same locale uses 作業項目 for Plane work items. This inconsistency can make users think the strings refer to different entities. Replace タスク with 作業項目 in both descriptions.

Use one Japanese term for workflow states.

The file uses 状態 and 状態変更 for the same English state concept, but these changed strings use ステータス. Use 状態 and 状態変更ルール consistently in the tooltip and confirmation descriptions.

The English source uses state, and the same Japanese file already uses 状態.

Preserve the irreversible-action warning.

The English delete_state_change.description says that the change cannot be undone. The Japanese text only says that the state change becomes unavailable and must be configured again. Add an explicit この変更は元に戻せません。 warning.
