Every help screen checked against the v5 redesign. Tours is documented for
the first time, as a screen of its own with twelve screens under it, and
notifications get help of their own. All pictures are taken again on a
realistic demo trip, with short loops where a still cannot show the motion.
The English is plain and every language is written naturally rather than
word for word.
The switcher shows two levels at most, a screen's overview lists its
sub-screens as cards above its guides, each wiki page is linked once, and
the help sidebar is wider.
Fixes found along the way: Save to Collection keeps a tour's route, a track
dropped on the places column opens the Tours import, tour Share on desktop,
the unsaved tour draft lives on the account, a route click no longer adds
an end point, Trip places leaves the trip's tours out, Escape closes a
stage's day menu, confirms before destructive deletes, DWD warnings sharing
one id kept apart, a booking's date moves with it, and smaller fixes across
notifications, bookings, the day plan, stays, Atlas, Collections, Vacay and
the admin screens.
Arabic runs the app right to left, but margins, paddings, insets, text
alignment, borders and corner radii were written for the left side, so
icons sat against the wrong edge of their labels, indents and badges
pointed the wrong way and amount columns aligned left. They now use the
logical forms (ms-, ps-, start-, text-start, marginInlineStart,
insetInlineEnd and their CSS equivalents), which are the very same sides
in a left to right language. Geometry stays physical on purpose: maps,
positions measured from the pointer or a bounding box, time axes,
sliders, transforms and print output.
Amounts drawn as several spans keep their order in a right to left row,
the time picker keeps hours before minutes, and two switches whose thumb
slid out of its track in Arabic now move the right way.
lint:rtl counts what is still physical per file against a baseline that
may only shrink (1512 uses in 370 files before, 319 in 113 now), and CI
runs it, so new code reaches for the logical forms.
A help icon on every screen opens a panel with the screen's overview, its
sub-screens, task guides with a framed picture per step, search across guides
and the wiki, and a switch to any other screen's help. Guides exist for the
dashboard, Vacay, Atlas, Collections, Journey (list, journal, studio), Settings
(all tabs), Admin (all tabs) and the trip frame; the trip's own screens are
in progress. Pictures are produced by Playwright (client/e2e/help), texts in
all 23 languages.
