# Changelog
+## Changes 4/8/2025
+
+**May have missed some stuff or could have bugs. Please report any issue you may encounter.**
+
+- **i18n Integration:**
+ - Implemented a complete internationalization (i18n) system for all user-facing texts in FileRise.
+ - Created an `i18n.js` module containing a translations object with full keys for English (en), Spanish (es), and French (fr).
+ - Updated JavaScript code to replace hard-coded strings with the `t()` translation function.
+ - Enhanced HTML and modal templates to support dynamic language translations using data attributes (data-i18n-key, data-i18n-placeholder, etc.).
+
+- **Language Dropdown & Persistence:**
+ - Added a language dropdown to the user panel modal allowing users to select their preferred language.
+ - Persisted the selected language in localStorage, ensuring that the preferred language is automatically applied on page refresh.
+ - Updated main.js to load and set the user’s language preference on DOMContentLoaded by calling `setLocale()` and `applyTranslations()`.
+
+- **Bug Fixes & Improvements:**
+ - Fixed issues with evaluation of translation function calls in template literals (ensured proper syntax with `${t("key")}`).
+ - Updated the t() function to be more defensive against missing keys.
+ - Provided instructions and code examples to ensure the language change settings are reliably saved and applied across sessions.

- 🎨 **Responsive UI (Dark/Light Mode):** FileRise is mobile-friendly out of the box – manage files from your phone or tablet with a responsive layout. Choose between Dark mode or Light theme, or let it follow your system preference. The interface remembers your preferences (layout, items per page, last visited folder, etc.) for a personalized experience each time.
+- 🌐 **Internationalization & Localization:** FileRise supports multiple languages via an integrated i18n system. Users can switch languages through a user panel dropdown, and their choice is saved in local storage for a consistent experience across sessions. Currently available in English, Spanish, and French—please report any translation issues you encounter.

- 🗑️ **Trash & File Recovery:** Mistakenly deleted files? No worries – deleted items go to the Trash instead of immediate removal. Admins can restore files from Trash or empty it to free space. FileRise auto-purges old trash entries (default 3 days) to keep your storage tidy.
- ⚙️ **Lightweight & Self-Contained:** FileRise runs on PHP 8.1+ with no external database required – data is stored in files (users, metadata) for simplicity. It’s a single-folder web app you can drop into any Apache/PHP server or run as a container. Docker & Unraid ready: use our pre-built image for a hassle-free setup. Memory and CPU footprint is minimal, yet the app scales to thousands of files with pagination and sorting features.
