Localized homepage leaves "(macOS only)" untranslated in all four non-English languages #193

Description

@biliman1-work

Summary

The App Store platform qualifier (macOS only) remains in English on every non-English homepage currently offered: Russian, Chinese, Arabic, and Turkish. This is the constraint that tells visitors which Apple devices can use the app, so leaving it untranslated makes an important availability note inconsistent with the surrounding localized copy.

Steps to reproduce

Open each direct localized homepage and inspect the text immediately after the App Store link:

Actual result

All four localized pages display the same English qualifier:

(macOS only)

The rest of the nearby download and account copy is localized.

Expected result

The qualifier should be localized consistently with the selected language, for example:

  • Russian: (только macOS)
  • Chinese: (仅限 macOS)
  • Arabic: a correctly ordered RTL equivalent of “macOS only”
  • Turkish: (yalnızca macOS)

Alternatively, use a locale-neutral platform badge if that is preferred by the product style.

Impact

This is a prominent compatibility constraint on the homepage download section. A non-English visitor needs it to understand that the linked Apple build is Mac-only, but the key word only is left in a different language.

Duplicate check

Before filing, I searched open and closed issues for "macOS only", App Store, and related localization wording.

I did not find an existing report about translating this download qualifier.
