Finding
A14 + A15 — Page language and accessible names not localized
Severity: moderate
WCAG: 3.1.1 Language of Page; 1.3.1 Info and Relationships
Theme: both
Bundled: shared root cause (applyChatConfigUI + catalogs). Closes A14 and A15 together.
Where
- A14:
public/index.html <html lang="en">; locale at server.js / config
- A15: static
aria-labels in public/index.html; Remove ${…} in public/app.js; catalogs i18n/*.json
Current behavior
UI strings can render in Spanish from i18n/es.json, but lang stays en and many control accessible names remain English.
Expected behavior
document.documentElement.lang matches the resolved locale. All chrome accessible names go through t() / catalogs.
Suggested approach
Set lang in applyChatConfigUI. Translate static aria-labels and landmark labels the same way visible labels are. Fix the attachment remove template. Add keys to en.json and es.json.
