Spanish is now a first-class language across the admin

Vlogerly's admin app now ships with a full Spanish translation, alongside the existing English one. Browser language detection chooses the right locale on first visit; a cookie remembers the choice for return visits.

What we touched:

  • A full Spanish translation file with every string the admin renders.
  • 22+ components rewritten to use translation keys instead of hardcoded strings.
  • Common UI, toast notifications, confirmation dialogs, profile, table chrome, history viewer, and the article stepper all now properly translatable.
  • The article stepper became a function that takes the translator, so step titles are properly localized.
  • URLs stay clean and prefix-free — no /es/ in the admin path, the locale is implicit in your session.

This is the first time Vlogerly has been usable end-to-end in a language other than English. It also unlocks the path to other languages — adding a third or fourth locale is now a copy-the-translation-file task, not a refactor.

    Fully Spanish admin is what unlocks the LATAM team for us. Half my editors prefer working in Spanish and the previous half-localised experience was a real friction point.
