English Docs Translation Style

• ✅ “Use checked and onCheckedChange to control the Switch state.”
• ✅ “Callback fired when the value changes.”
• ✅ “NexUI provides two components for building checkboxes.”

3) Project-specific terminology

Use these terms consistently:

• Product naming in prose: Nex UI
• Package/API names: NexUIProvider, @nex-ui/react, component symbols as-is
• “props” not “properties” when referring to component inputs
• “controlled / uncontrolled” in standard React sense
• “callback fired…” for event descriptions
• “provides … components” for anatomy intros

4) Standard sentence patterns

Apply these patterns across docs.

4.1 Anatomy sections

• Prefer: NexUI provides <number> components for building <feature>.

4.2 Usage instructions

• Prefer: Use <prop> to ... / Set <prop> to ...

4.3 API callback descriptions

• Prefer: Callback fired when ...

4.4 TypeScript extension notes

• Prefer: If your project uses TypeScript, you can extend ...

4.5 State wording

• Prefer concrete UI states: “on/off”, “open/closed”, “selected/unselected”, “checked/unchecked”.
• Use “purely visual” when documenting presentational states like indeterminate.

4.6 Boolean prop descriptions in component APIs

Follow the current en/docs/components pattern:

• Prefer: If true, disables ...
• Prefer: If true, hides ...
• Prefer: If true, shows ...
• Prefer controlled state: If true, opens/shows ... (controlled)
• Prefer uncontrolled default state: If true, opens/shows ... by default. (uncontrolled)
• Prefer mounted-state wording: If true, keeps ... mounted in the DOM when not open/expanded.

Avoid noun-heavy or passive alternatives when an action verb works better.

5) Translation and rewrite rules

Keep

• API names, code snippets, prop values, and behavior contracts
• Existing structure/headings unless they are clearly unnatural or inconsistent

Rewrite

• Wordy sentences with nested clauses
• Literal translations that sound formal or unnatural
• Redundant phrases (“in order to”, “through … can …”)

Do not do

• Do not change technical meaning.
• Do not rename public APIs.
• Do not add new product claims not present in source docs.

6) QA checklist before finishing

Run this checklist on edited docs:

1. Does every changed sentence preserve original technical meaning?
2. Are callback descriptions consistently “Callback fired when …”?
3. Are anatomy intros consistent (“NexUI provides …”)?
4. Is TypeScript extension language consistent?
5. Are there leftover translation-ese phrases or awkward long sentences?
6. Did we keep code/API identifiers unchanged?
7. Do files pass lint/error checks?
8. For component API docs, do repeated shared descriptions match the canonical phrasebook exactly?
