Terminology

This repo now has a central terminology registry for admin-facing labels and key product nouns.

Source of truth

Frontend terminology lives in frontend/src/lib/terminology.js
The default locale is en-NZ
Admin pages should import the shared registry instead of hardcoding repeated labels

Current structure

frontend/src/lib/terminology.js exports:

DEFAULT_TERMINOLOGY_LOCALE
TERMINOLOGY_LOCALES
getTerminology(locale)
terminology

The registry is grouped into:

common
entities
admin

Example:

import { terminology as t } from '$lib/terminology';

const clientLabel = t.entities.client.singular;
const sectionLabel = t.admin.sections.clients;
const pageTitle = t.admin.clients.title;

How to update wording

If you want to rename a repeated term like Client, Clients, Leads, Home, or Reporting, update the relevant key in:

frontend/src/lib/terminology.js

Any page already wired to the shared registry will pick up the new label automatically.

Adding a new locale later

Add another top-level locale entry to TERMINOLOGY_LOCALES
Mirror the same object shape as en-NZ
Switch the selected locale through getTerminology(locale)
Avoid hardcoding user-facing copy in components if it belongs in the registry

Example outline:

export const TERMINOLOGY_LOCALES = {
  'en-NZ': { ... },
  'fr-FR': { ... },
};

Guidance

Put repeated UI labels and key nouns in the terminology registry
Keep one-off implementation details out of the registry unless they are also user-facing copy
Prefer full copy keys for phrases that may need different grammar in another language
If a page repeats the same wording in multiple places, move it into the registry
