¶ 7. Translation
Every label, hint, option, validation message, state name and event display name you typed needs a Kinyarwanda and French text (English is the source). The applicant sees the portal language they chose; the officer sees the officer portal language. Notifications are written in the three languages inside the workflow (lesson B7).

Gotcha · missing translations show keys
An untranslated label shows the English text or, for some widgets, the raw translation key. QA reviewers switch the portal to each language and check every screen: fill them before you submit. Use the translations the SRD gives; do not machine-translate legal wording.
