Decided 2026-10-23: translate the guide now, marked as not reviewed. This closes Phase 8.

  • docs/data-steward-guide.{pt-BR,nl-NL,de-DE,es-ES,fr-FR}.md:
    • Each opens with a note that a native speaker hasn't reviewed it yet and that the English guide is authoritative.
    • Interface labels are quoted exactly as each language's catalog shows them.
    • GitHub's own labels, code, IRIs and profile names stay as they are.
    • Every internal anchor was recomputed from the translated headings and checked.
  • Localized screenshots in docs/images-{pt,nl,de,es,fr}/, as in Contour. scripts/shoot.cjs now selects elements by CSS class rather than English text, and takes LOCALE. The English screenshots were regenerated too: they now show the Guided setup link and the profile documents in the review step.
  • App: the Guide link opens the guide in the chosen language, and the English guide links to the translations.
  • Catalog fixes from the translators' notes:
    • GitHub permission names stay in English in the guided setup, as in the token hint.
    • The Dutch interface now uses "u" throughout (the form renderer's strings shared with Contour unchanged).
    • The guide tooltip no longer says "in English".
  • 201 tests and type-check pass.

Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, German, Spanish and French, each marked as
not yet reviewed by a native speaker, with screenshots of the app in that
language. The screenshot script selects by CSS class instead of English
text and takes LOCALE. The app's Guide link opens the guide in the chosen
language. Catalog fixes found while translating: GitHub's permission
names stay English, the Dutch interface addresses the user as "u", and
the guide tooltip no longer says English only.
