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
