Maurice 70f27085b9 feat(i18n): bring the Hebrew locale up to date with dev and list it in the docs
Translate the 55 keys dev added since the branch was cut (TREK services
allowance, Valhalla routing service, PDF routing progress, overview
distances, Unsplash key hint, tour day limit) and drop the two reservation
toasts dev removed, so he matches en key for key again. Refresh the two
admin strings and the Valhalla hint whose English changed.

Check he in the placeholder spec and the RTL test, and count 28 languages
with Hebrew in the README and the Languages, Environment Variables,
Contributing and Help Center wiki pages.

# Contributing
Thanks for your interest in contributing to TREK! Here are the guidelines for submitting pull requests.
## Before You Start
- **Ask in Discord first** — Before writing any code, pitch your idea in the `#github-pr` channel on our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/NhZBDSd4qW). We'll let you know if the PR is wanted and give direction. PRs without prior approval will be closed
- **Check existing issues** — Look for open issues or discussions before starting work
- **Target the `dev` branch** — All PRs must be opened against `dev`, not `main`. Exception: PRs that only modify files under `wiki/` may target any branch
- **One thing per PR** — Keep PRs focused on a single change. Don't bundle unrelated fixes
- **Tests are required**: Your change must come with tests. The project holds 80% or more coverage, and a PR that drops it is closed
- **Stay up to date**: Your branch must be [up to date with `dev`](Development-environment#3-keep-your-fork-up-to-date) before you submit
## Pull Request Guidelines
### Code Quality
- Write clean, readable code that matches the existing style
- No unnecessary abstractions or over-engineering
- Don't add features beyond what was discussed in the issue
- Don't add comments unless the logic isn't self-evident
- Don't add error handling for scenarios that can't happen
### What We Look For
- **Does it solve the stated problem?** — The PR should match the issue it addresses
- **Is it minimal?** — No extra refactoring, no "while I'm here" changes
- **Does it break anything?** — Breaking changes are not acceptable
- **Is the code clean?** — Consistent style, no debug logs, no dead code
### Commit Messages
Use conventional commits:
```
fix(component): short description of what was fixed
feat(component): short description of new feature
```
### PR Description
Follow the template provided by default (.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md). A PR description contains:
- **Summary:** what changes and why, in one to three bullet points
- **Test plan:** how you verified it works
- **Linked issue:** for example `Fixes #123`
### What Will Get Your PR Closed
- PRs that weren't discussed and approved in `#github-pr` on Discord first
- PRs that add unnecessary complexity (e.g. a redo button when undo already exists)
- PRs with breaking changes
- PRs that reformat or refactor unrelated code
- PRs that change code style or formatting across unrelated files
- PRs that add dependencies without justification
## Development Setup
See the [[Development Environment|Development-environment]] page for the full setup guide, including forking, remote configuration, branch conventions, and available scripts.
## Tech Stack
| Layer | Technology |
|---|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Frontend | React 19, TypeScript, Zustand 5, Leaflet, Tailwind CSS 3.4, Vite 8 (Rolldown) |
| Backend | NestJS 11 (Express 4 adapter), TypeScript, better-sqlite3, Zod (@trek/shared) |
| Real-time | WebSocket (ws) |
| Database | SQLite with WAL mode |
| Auth | JWT (HS256), bcrypt, TOTP MFA, passkeys (WebAuthn), OIDC |
| Maps | Leaflet + react-leaflet (default, OpenFreeMap vector basemap via maplibre-gl-leaflet), MapLibre GL 5, Mapbox GL 3, Valhalla, OSRM, Photon, Nominatim |
| i18n | 28 languages, EN canonical (locale directories live in shared/src/i18n/) |
Documentation changes go to `wiki/`. The same pages ship inside the app: the in-app help reads them (served under `/api/help`) and links into them, and the MCP help tools search them, so a wiki edit reaches users with the next release as well as the GitHub wiki.
Beyond the tests, CI enforces a set of quality gates: type checks, lint ratchets that may only shrink, and a SonarCloud gate on new code (80% coverage, at most 3% duplicated lines). The [[Development Environment|Development-environment]] page lists the commands, and the `CLAUDE.md` file of each package explains its rules. Desktop and phone views of a feature share one hook, so a feature that touches both keeps its logic in that hook.
Every translation key must exist in all 28 locales, the `Shared: i18n Parity` CI job fails on drift, so run `npm run i18n:parity:strict --workspace=shared` before pushing. Add a real translation to every locale; an English placeholder in a non-English file is not accepted. Two directory names differ from the language they hold: Brazilian Portuguese is `br`, Greek is `gr`.
