Changelog

26.2.1 — 11/09/2026

Added

• Global race placeholders: %boatracing_race_running%, %boatracing_race_registering%, and %boatracing_race_status% now resolve across every track session, so a single scoreboard/hologram line can react when any race opens or starts. %boatracing_race_status% returns running, registering, or idle, with running taking precedence when multiple tracks are active.
• Translatable race status labels: %boatracing_race_status% labels now come from placeholder.race-status.* in messages_<lang>.yml and are translated across all 27 bundled languages (for example running/registering/idle in English and en curso/registro/inactiva in Spanish).
• 11 new community language bundles: added uk (Українська), id (Bahasa Indonesia), ar (العربية), nl (Nederlands), cs (Čeština), vi (Tiếng Việt), th (ไทย), tl (Filipino), da (Dansk), no (Norsk), and fi (Suomi). Every bundle is fully translated from the English file with the same 719 keys and line-for-line structure, including localized placeholder.race-status.* labels. Bundled languages are now 27 (2 official + 25 community).
• Locale validation tool: tools/check_locales.py compares every messages_*.yml against messages_en.yml and reports missing/extra/duplicate keys, placeholder mismatches, colour/escape differences, and possible untranslated text.

Fixed

• Duplicate admin.help.language key: removed a wrongly placed usage line that silently overrode the help entry in 11 community bundles (fr, it, ja, ko, pl, pt_BR, pt_PT, ru, sv, tr, zh_CN).
• Registration-time messages in community bundles: es_419, it, ja, ko, pl, pt_BR, pt_PT, ru, sv, tr, zh_CN, and zh_TW now define setup.show.regtime and setup.error.setregtime (replacing the obsolete race.status.regtime), so registration-time output is no longer shown in English.
• Completed translations in existing bundles: translated 353 remaining English strings across 22 bundles (start-light messages, registration-time wizard steps, navigation/status/admin labels, download/usage lines, etc.), so no bundled message text falls back to English. The only intentionally identical value is gui.admin.lore-color in es/es_419 because Color is also the Spanish word.
• Uniform bundle structure: all 27 messages_*.yml files now mirror messages_en.yml exactly (758 lines, same key order, blank lines and CRLF endings), so the bundles stay consistent and diff cleanly. The locale checker now also rejects keys that have an inline value and child keys (a broken YAML shape).
