## 📋 Remaining Work (Large Pages)

### Pattern to Follow (ESTABLISHED AND WORKING)

For each page component:

```jsx
// 1. Import the hook
import { useLanguage } from '../i18n/LanguageContext'

// 2. Get the translation function
export default function PageName() {
  const { t } = useLanguage()
  
  // 3. Replace hardcoded strings
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{t('page.title')}</h1>
      {/* Add dir="auto" to text inputs */}
      <input type="text" dir="auto" />
      <textarea dir="auto" />
    </div>
  )
}
```

### Dashboard (`pages/Dashboard.jsx`)
**Status**: 30% complete

Add translations for:
- Welcome message
- Stat cards labels
- Section titles ("Budget Overview", "Recent Posts", "Upcoming Deadlines")
- Empty states
- Pass `t` prop to `<FinanceMini finance={finance} t={t} />`

### PostProduction (`pages/PostProduction.jsx`)
**Status**: 0% complete

1. Import `useLanguage` hook
2. Add `t()` calls for:
   - All button labels ("New Post", "Edit Post", "Create Post", "Save Changes", etc.)
   - Form labels ("Title", "Description", "Brand", "Platforms", "Status", etc.)
   - Filter labels ("All Brands", "All Platforms", "All People")
   - Modal titles and messages
   - Empty states

3. Add `dir="auto"` to:
   ```jsx
   <input type="text" value={formData.title} dir="auto" />
   <textarea value={formData.description} dir="auto" />
   <input type="text" value={formData.notes} dir="auto" />
   {/* Publication links URL inputs */}
   <input type="url" value={linkUrl} dir="auto" />
   ```

### Tasks (`pages/Tasks.jsx`)
**Status**: 0% complete

1. Import `useLanguage` hook
2. Add `t()` calls for:
   - Filter options ("All Tasks", "Assigned to Me", "Created by Me")
   - Form labels ("Title", "Description", "Priority", "Due Date", "Assign to")
   - Priority levels (already in translation files)
   - Column labels (already in KanbanBoard)
   - Empty states

3. Add `dir="auto"` to:
   ```jsx
   <input type="text" value={formData.title} dir="auto" />
   <textarea value={formData.description} dir="auto" />
   ```

### Team (`pages/Team.jsx`)
**Status**: 0% complete

1. Import `useLanguage` hook
2. Add `t()` calls for:
   - Section titles ("Team Members", "My Profile")
   - Form labels ("Name", "Email", "Password", "Team Role", "Phone", "Brands")
   - Button labels ("Add Member", "Edit", "Save Changes", "Remove")
   - Member stats labels
   - Empty states

3. Add `dir="auto"` to:

   <input type="text" value={formData.name} dir="auto" />
   <input type="email" value={formData.email} dir="auto" />
   <input type="text" value={formData.phone} dir="auto" />
   <input type="text" value={formData.brands} dir="auto" />
   ```

## 🧪 Testing

### Test Language Toggle
1. Run `cd /home/fahed/clawd/marketing-app/client && npm run dev`
2. Open http://localhost:5173
3. Login
4. Check bottom of sidebar - should see language toggle button
5. Click it - sidebar labels should switch to Arabic, sidebar should move to right
6. Go to Settings - language dropdown should show current language
7. Change language there - should persist on page reload

### Test Arabic Input
1. After implementing `dir="auto"` on inputs
2. Type Arabic text in any text field
3. Text should auto-align to right
4. Type English text - should auto-align to left
5. Mixed Arabic/English should handle gracefully

## 📊 Overall Progress

- **Infrastructure**: 100% ✅
- **Core Components**: 100% ✅  
- **Pages**: 60% ⚠️

## 🚀 Next Steps

1. Complete Dashboard translations (1-2 hours)
2. Complete PostProduction translations + dir="auto" (2-3 hours)
3. Complete Tasks translations + dir="auto" (1-2 hours)
4. Complete Team translations + dir="auto" (1-2 hours)
5. Test all pages in both languages
6. Test RTL layout edge cases
7. Final build verification

## 📝 Translation Files

All translations are centralized in:
- `/client/src/i18n/en.json` - English (200+ keys)
- `/client/src/i18n/ar.json` - Arabic (200+ keys)

Adding new translations is simple:
1. Add key to both en.json and ar.json
2. Use in component: `{t('category.keyName')}`
