# Internationalization
OxiCloud exposes a public translation API backed by JSON locale files on disk. Locales are loaded lazily, cached in memory, and served without authentication.
## Public API
All routes live under `/api/i18n`.
| Method | Path | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `GET` | `/api/i18n/locales` | List available locales |
| `GET` | `/api/i18n/translate?key=...&locale=...` | Resolve a single key |
| `GET` | `/api/i18n/locales/{locale_code}` | Fetch all translations for one locale |
## Locale Files
Translations are stored as nested JSON files under `static/locales/`.
Example shape:
```json
{
"app": {
"title": "OxiCloud"
},
"nav": {
"files": "Files",
"trash": "Trash"
}
}
```
Keys are resolved with dot notation, so `nav.files` maps to `Files`.
## Fallback Rules
- If a key is missing in the requested locale, OxiCloud falls back to English
- If the key is missing there as well, the API returns a not-found error for that key
## Caching Model
Translations are cached in memory with an `RwLock<HashMap<Locale, serde_json::Value>>` and loaded on first use for each locale.
## Frontend Usage
Typical frontend flow:
1. Detect the preferred locale
2. Request `/api/i18n/locales/{code}`
3. Apply translated strings to UI elements
## Example
```bash
# List locales
curl "https://oxicloud.example.com/api/i18n/locales"
# Fetch one translation
curl "https://oxicloud.example.com/api/i18n/translate?key=app.title&locale=es"
```
