# Phase 12 Plan 01: Polish Backend Translations Summary

**Complete Polish translations for Quotify plugin with 437 strings, formal terminology, and 3-form pluralization**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 4 min
- **Started:** 2026-01-16T10:00:00Z
- **Completed:** 2026-01-16T10:04:00Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files created:** 1

## Accomplishments
- Translated all 437 backend strings from English to Polish
- Used formal Polish terminology consistent with User and PaymentGateway plugins
- Implemented proper Polish pluralization (one|few|many forms)
- Preserved all placeholders and variable syntax

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Create Polish translation file** - `7feca30` (feat) - in Quotify submodule

**Note:** Task 2 was verification-only, no code changes required.

## Files Created/Modified
- `plugins/golem15/quotify/lang/pl/lang.php` - Complete Polish translations (437 keys)

## Decisions Made

| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| "Fachowiec" for Professional | Trade/craft context, more common than "Profesjonalista" |
| "Wycena" for Quote | Consistent with PaymentGateway plugin terminology |
| "Zlecenie" for Job Request | Formal Polish for service request |
| "Kategoria uslug" for Trade Category | Clear service category naming |
| Three-form pluralization | Polish requires one/few/many forms (1, 2-4, 5+) |

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered

None - straightforward translation with existing patterns from User and PaymentGateway plugins.

## User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness
- Polish translations complete for backend admin panel
- Ready for Phase 12-02: German backend translations
- Same pattern can be applied for German translations
