 ## Docs i18n (generated publish locales)
 
-- Generated publish output lives in the sibling `openclaw-docs` repo; do not add or edit `docs/zh-CN/**`, `docs/ja-JP/**`, `docs/es/**`, `docs/pt-BR/**`, `docs/ko/**`, `docs/de/**`, `docs/fr/**`, `docs/ar/**`, `docs/it/**`, `docs/tr/**`, `docs/id/**`, or `docs/pl/**` here.
-- Pipeline: update English docs here → adjust glossary (`docs/.i18n/glossary.zh-CN.json`, `docs/.i18n/glossary.ja-JP.json`, `docs/.i18n/glossary.es.json`, `docs/.i18n/glossary.pt-BR.json`, `docs/.i18n/glossary.ko.json`, `docs/.i18n/glossary.de.json`, `docs/.i18n/glossary.fr.json`, `docs/.i18n/glossary.ar.json`, `docs/.i18n/glossary.it.json`, `docs/.i18n/glossary.tr.json`, `docs/.i18n/glossary.id.json`, `docs/.i18n/glossary.pl.json`) → let the publish-repo sync + `scripts/docs-i18n` run in `openclaw-docs` → apply targeted fixes only if instructed.
+- Foreign-language docs are not maintained in this repo. The generated publish output lives in the separate `openclaw/docs` repo (often cloned locally as the sibling `openclaw-docs` directory); do not add or edit localized docs under `docs/<locale>/**` here.
+- Those localized docs are autogenerated. Treat this repo's English docs plus glossary files as the source of truth, and let the publish/translation pipeline update `openclaw/docs`.
+- Pipeline: update English docs here → adjust the matching `docs/.i18n/glossary.<locale>.json` entries → let the publish-repo sync + `scripts/docs-i18n` run in `openclaw/docs` / local `openclaw-docs` clone → apply targeted fixes only if instructed.
 - Before rerunning `scripts/docs-i18n`, add glossary entries for any new technical terms, page titles, or short nav labels that must stay in English or use a fixed translation (for example `Doctor` or `Polls`).
 - `pnpm docs:check-i18n-glossary` enforces glossary coverage for changed English doc titles and short internal doc labels before translation reruns.
-- Translation memory: locale TM files such as `docs/.i18n/zh-CN.tm.jsonl`, `docs/.i18n/ja-JP.tm.jsonl`, `docs/.i18n/es.tm.jsonl`, `docs/.i18n/pt-BR.tm.jsonl`, `docs/.i18n/ko.tm.jsonl`, `docs/.i18n/de.tm.jsonl`, `docs/.i18n/fr.tm.jsonl`, `docs/.i18n/ar.tm.jsonl`, `docs/.i18n/it.tm.jsonl`, `docs/.i18n/tr.tm.jsonl`, `docs/.i18n/id.tm.jsonl`, and `docs/.i18n/pl.tm.jsonl` (generated in the publish repo).
+- Translation memory lives in generated `docs/.i18n/*.tm.jsonl` files in the publish repo.
 - See `docs/.i18n/README.md`.
 - The pipeline can be slow/inefficient; if it’s dragging, ping @jospalmbier on Discord instead of hacking around it.
 
+## Control UI i18n (generated in repo)
+
+- Control UI foreign-language locale bundles are generated in this repo; do not hand-edit `ui/src/i18n/locales/*.ts` for non-English locales or `ui/src/i18n/.i18n/*` unless a targeted generated-output fix is explicitly requested.
+- Source of truth is `ui/src/i18n/locales/en.ts` plus the generator/runtime wiring in `scripts/control-ui-i18n.ts`, `ui/src/i18n/lib/types.ts`, and `ui/src/i18n/lib/registry.ts`.
+- Pipeline: update English control UI strings and locale wiring here → run `pnpm ui:i18n:sync` (or let `Control UI Locale Refresh` do it) → commit the regenerated locale bundles and `.i18n` metadata.
+- If the control UI locale outputs drift, regenerate them; do not manually translate or hand-maintain the generated locale files by default.

 ## exe.dev VM ops (general)
 
 - Access: stable path is `ssh exe.dev` then `ssh vm-name` (assume SSH key already set).
