RFC: UI localization (i18n) - multi-language support, built to extend Problem Steno's interface is English-only. Every user-facing string is hardcoded - across the ~67 React .tsx files in the renderer and the Electron-native chrome in app/main.js (app menu, tray menu, system notifications, native dialogs). Non-English users get an English UI even when their meeting content (transcript, summary) is already in their own language. There's clear latent demand: past spoken-language requests (#45, #70/#71/#72) show a non-English user base, and German is a concrete first ask from the community. Scope guard - this RFC is UI chrome only. The content language (summaries, reports) is a separate, already-solved concern: output_language in src/config.py + src/report_store.py, plus transcript language detection (#283). This proposal does not touch any of that. Reusing the name get-language is off-limits here - it already means transcription/output language (app/preload.js, app/main.js). Proposal Int

Windows alpha builds already ship from the Python backend, so a Rust rewrite is no longer a prerequisite for Windows support. This issue is an RFC to decide whether a backend rewrite has a measurable benefit worth its migration cost. It does not commit to an implementation. An evaluation should define a specific target, such as packaged size or startup time, and compare a small prototype with the current backend. It must account for macOS MLX transcription, Windows/Linux ONNX transcription, audio capture, existing file formats, and the CLI contract with Electron. Smaller binaries, faster startup, and simpler packaging remain hypotheses to test. Windows release hardening can continue independently on the existing backend.
