+# Phase 16 Plan 02: Email Template Translations Summary
+
+**Professional verification emails (approved, rejected, submitted) now fully translatable with Polish and German via migration seeder**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** 3 min
+- **Started:** 2026-02-02T11:07:46Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-02-02T11:11:02Z
+- **Tasks:** 3
+- **Files modified:** 5
+
+## Accomplishments
+
+- All three professional verification emails now use |_ filter for translations
+- Subject lines translatable (wrapped in Twig translation filter)
+- 28 email string translations added for Polish and German
+- Migration seeder created for reproducible translation deployment
+
+## Task Commits
+
+Each task was committed atomically:
+
+1. **Task 1: Add translation filter to professional_approved.htm** - `2ce3c65` (feat)
+2. **Task 2: Add translation filter to professional_rejected.htm and professional_submitted.htm** - `5090d2f` (feat)
+3. **Task 3: Add Polish and German translations for email strings** - `bba72ae` (feat)
+
+**Submodule update:** `db354b3` (chore: update quotify submodule)
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+
+- `plugins/golem15/quotify/views/mail/professional_approved.htm` - Translatable approval email
+- `plugins/golem15/quotify/views/mail/professional_rejected.htm` - Translatable rejection email
+- `plugins/golem15/quotify/views/mail/professional_submitted.htm` - Translatable submission email
+- `plugins/golem15/quotify/updates/v1.4.1/add_email_translations.php` - Translation seeder migration
+- `plugins/golem15/quotify/updates/version.yaml` - Added v1.4.1 migration entry
+
+## Decisions Made
+
+- **MD5 hash for message codes:** Consistent with existing Translate plugin pattern (code = md5(trim(message)))
+- **Migration seeder approach:** Using DB::table() for translations ensures reproducibility when deploying to new environments
+- **German formal Sie form:** Professional business context warrants formal address (matches Phase 14 decision)
+- **Polish informal Ty form:** Warmer, more approachable tone for user-facing emails
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None - plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Issues Encountered
+
+- **translate:scan --include-themes flag:** Plan referenced non-existent flag. Used `translate:scan` without flag successfully.
+- **Submodule structure:** Quotify plugin is a git submodule, requiring commits in submodule first then updating reference in main repo.
+
+## User Setup Required
+
+None - translations are seeded via migration, will apply automatically on `winter:up`.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+
+- All 8 email templates now use |_ filter consistently
+- Professional verification emails ready for localized sending
+- Other emails (job_closed, new_job_match, new_quote_received, quote_accepted, quote_rejected) already had |_ filters
+- Ready for Phase 16 Plan 03 (if exists) or Phase 17
