Root Cause

The locales/ directory (containing en.yaml and other language catalogs) exists in the source repository but is NOT included in the pip package. After pip install, site-packages/locales/ is absent. The agent/i18n.py module falls back to returning raw keys when no catalog is found.

Fix Action

Fix

The locales/ directory needs to be included in the pip package distribution (MANIFEST.in or pyproject.toml package data).

Workaround

Copy locales/en.yaml from the source repo into site-packages/locales/en.yaml.

Bug Description

After upgrading to v0.13.0, all gateway slash commands that use the new i18n system show raw translation keys instead of rendered text. For example, /status outputs:

gateway.status.header gateway.status.session_id gateway.status.title ...

The locales/ directory (containing en.yaml and other language catalogs) exists in the source repository but is NOT included in the pip package. After pip install, site-packages/locales/ is absent. The agent/i18n.py module falls back to returning raw keys when no catalog is found.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Fresh install of v0.13.0 via pip

  3. Run /status slash command
  4. Observe raw i18n keys instead of rendered text
