ℹ️ New elm keys are added to the en locale only
Every existing language carries name/desc/link entries in the non-English language-info.ts files (and templates.starter.<lang> in translation.ts), but elm was added only to en. With fallbackLng: 'en' non-English users still see English, so this is a consistency gap rather than a break — ignore if it is intentionally deferred to the Lokalise pull.
Technical details
# Add `elm` to the remaining locales
## Affected sites
- `src/livecodes/i18n/locales/{ar,bn,de,es,fa,fr,hi,hu,id,it,ja,nl,pt,ru,tr,ur,zh-CN}/language-info.ts` — no `elm` entry
- same directories `language-info.lokalise.json` — no `elm.name`/`elm.desc`/`elm.link`
- same directories `translation.ts` and `translation.lokalise.json` — no `templates.starter.elm`
## Required outcome
- `elm` gets `name`/`desc`/`link` in every `language-info.ts` and `templates.starter.elm` in every `translation.ts`, mirroring `gleam`.
## Open questions for the human
- If these are produced by the Lokalise pull after adding the `en` keys, this is expected and can be ignored.DeepSeek Flash (free via Pullfrog for OSS) | 𝕏

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The assertion below allows up to 280s, but test.slow() only triples the configured 60s test timeout to 180s — Playwright aborts the whole test at 180s, so the 280_000 assertion timeout can never be reached. The similar rust-wasm test above uses test.setTimeout(300_000) for its heavy first-run download.

If importScripts(elmWasmBaseUrl + 'index.umd.js') fails, getCompiler() rejects before self.ElmWasm is assigned, so this line throws Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'formatError') and the real network/boot error is lost. Fall back to the error string when ElmWasm is unavailable.

Elm Browser.document Browser.application init node documentation
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In Elm, the Browser.document and Browser.application functions create programs that take over the entire document (the <head> and <body> tags) of the page [1][2]. Because they manage the entire document, they do not accept a node argument during initialization [1][3][2]. The node argument is specifically associated with Browser.element and Browser.sandbox [4]. These functions create Elm programs that are intended to be embedded within a specific part of an existing HTML page, allowing you to specify a DOM element for the program to take over [5]. When initializing an Elm program that accepts a node (such as one created with Browser.element), you provide it in the JavaScript init call: var app = Elm.Main.init({ node: document.getElementById('myapp') }); In contrast, since Browser.document and Browser.application manage the entire page, they do not take a node argument [1][2]. You initialize them simply by calling Elm.Main.init() (optionally passing flags if defined) [6][5]. Their configuration is defined entirely within the Elm code, where you provide the init, view, update, and subscriptions functions [1][3][2]. Summary of program types: - Browser.sandbox: Does not take a node, but is limited in scope. - Browser.element: Takes a node argument in JavaScript to embed in a specific DOM element [5]. - Browser.document: Controls the <title> and <body> of the entire document; does not use a node [1][2]. - Browser.application: Manages the entire document and handles URL changes (single-page apps); does not use a node [3][4].

Elm compiler generated JavaScript Browser.document Browser.application init({ node }) behavior
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In Elm, the initialization behavior of a compiled program depends on the specific Browser module function used to create the program [1]. When initializing an Elm program via the JavaScript Elm.Main.init() function, the node parameter determines where the Elm application attaches to the DOM [2]. For Browser.element and Browser.sandbox: The node parameter is required [3]. You must provide a reference to an existing DOM element in your HTML file [2]. The Elm runtime will take over this specific element and manage its contents [2][3]. For Browser.document and Browser.application: The node parameter is ignored (or effectively unused) because these program types are designed to manage the entire document [3][4]. - Browser.document: This allows you to control the entire document body and the title of the page [5]. Because it manages the whole page structure, it automatically attaches to the document body rather than a specific sub-element [3]. - Browser.application: This is used for single-page applications and also manages the entire document, including URL navigation [6]. Like Browser.document, it is intended to take over the full page, making the node parameter unnecessary during initialization [3][4]. If you attempt to pass a node to Browser.document or Browser.application, it is typically ignored by the Elm runtime, as the application assumes control of the document body regardless [4]. Conversely, failing to pass a node to Browser.element will result in a runtime error because the Elm runtime expects a target container to render into [7].

Limit node mounting to compatible Elm program types.
The generated initializer always calls Elm[<ModuleName>].init({ node }). Browser.document and Browser.application ignore node and manage the result page’s document instead. The appended div is not their mount target. Restrict this support claim to Browser.sandbox and Browser.element, or document the document-level behavior.

Set an explicit timeout for the Elm test. playwright.config.ts sets the test timeout to 60 seconds, and the Playwright test fixture raises it to 180 seconds when test.slow() runs. The toHaveText assertion is configured for 280 seconds, but the enclosing test can terminate first. Set the test timeout above 280 seconds, such as test.setTimeout(360_000).

Externalize the preview strings.
The starter renders these literals in the result frame. They remain English when the LiveCodes UI uses another locale. Export localized strings for the generated Elm source, then run the i18n export.
As per coding guidelines: “Export user-facing text strings for internationalization; run npm run i18n-export after adding new text.”
