ZeroClaw has two independent translation layers — app strings (Mozilla Fluent .ftl) and
docs (gettext .po). Both are filled locally via a configured AI provider before opening
a PR; translation is never a CI operation.
Full contributor workflow: docs/book/src/maintainers/docs-and-translations.md
Quick reference:

Ollama is the canonical local provider. See the full docs page for provider configuration, batch size tuning, failure log inspection, and the self-healing startup repair pass.
