fix(notifications): translate notification titles via i18n - #3421
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughMedia request notifications now use localized message definitions. Notification text varies by notification state, media type, and 4K status. Override-rule lookup now uses configured service IDs and skips queries when no default service exists. ChangesLocalized media request notifications
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~15–30 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Notification titles are formatted before recipient locale selection, so users may receive mixed-language notifications when their locale differs from the server locale. This correctness issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Suggested reviewers: Poem

This pull request fixes notification title localization by moving MediaRequest notification “event” titles from hardcoded English strings to i18n-backed ICU messages, aligning title translation behavior with the rest of the notification content.
Changes:
- Added reusable

getIntl()is called without a locale, and the selected message becomes a plaineventstring before the shared payload reachesnotificationManager. This fixes the title to the server locale. Notification agents can use a recipient locale for other fields while reusingpayload.event, which produces mixed-language notifications for users whose locale differs from the server locale. (raw.githubusercontent.com)Keep the message descriptor and its values in the payload. Format the event after each agent selects the recipient locale, or build one payload per locale. Add a regression test with different server and recipient locales.

This is not a fix. It was something we never supported before so this should be titled properly as "feat" |
Description
Hello there,
The
eventfield used to build notification titles was built from hardcoded English strings in MediaRequest.sendNotification, bypassing i18n entirely - unlike the rest of the notification body, which already goes through intl.formatMessage.Fix :
Add generic
notifications.event.*keys to en.json, reusable by all notification apps, and buildeventvia intl.formatMessage. Each message uses an ICU select` on the media type (movie/series) so every locale can phrase its own full sentence with correct grammar and capitalization, instead of the code splicing a translated word into a fixed English sentence shape.AI Disclosure: I used Claude for advices about the fix and the description of this pull request.
