Multi-Language Support The parser supports localised input via translations in `snooze.json`. ### Translatable token categories - **Units:** minute, hour, day, week, month, year _(singular + plural)_ - **Relative days:** tomorrow, day after tomorrow, next week / month, this / next weekend - **Time of day:** morning, afternoon, evening, night, noon, midnight - **Word numbers:** one through ten, twelve, fifteen, twenty, thirty - **Ordinals:** first through fifth - **Structural words:** at, in, of, after, week, day, from now, next year - **Meridiem:** am, pm ### Auto-detected from locale Weekday names and month names are resolved automatically via `Intl.DateTimeFormat` for the user's locale — no manual translation needed. </details> ## Type of change - [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality) ## How Has This Been Tested? **Screenshots** <img width="974" height="530" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c690d328-a0df-41d2-b531-2b4e6ce6b5fd" /> <img width="974" height="530" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fa881acc-4fed-4ba3-9166-58bd953bcb26" /> <img width="974" height="530" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4d9a224b-641c-409c-a7ce-3dec2b5355e2" /> <img width="974" height="530" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/465b9835-d82c-4bc7-a2ae-94976ada2d3b" /> <img width="974" height="530" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/839fe8fc-8943-4b66-83ca-5c61c95f24d8" /> <img width="974" height="530" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3a9a54f2-7669-40f2-b098-a3f5c183526d" /> <img width="974" height="530" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7791ab2b-c763-49a9-90a0-e91b0d8f0a26" /> <img width="974" height="530" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4689390c-0e7f-48ae-acc7-d8e28695452f" /> <img width="974" height="530" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d0aa5217-d0e1-4f41-b663-72888d028a3a" /> <img width="974" height="530" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4fa9ff5b-a874-43d5-812f-6abe1a95a5ac" /> <img width="974" height="530" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2c8199a6-f872-46af-986f-bdf8597248f5" /> <img width="974" height="530" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5bd9effc-7518-4f96-b2f2-7c547f32f500" /> ## Checklist: - [x] My code follows the style guidelines of this project - [x] I have performed a self-review of my code - [x] I have commented on my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas - [ ] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation - [x] My changes generate no new warnings - [x] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works - [x] New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes - [ ] Any dependent changes have been merged and published in downstream modules
