🧩 Summary

In the C# Playground section, several lessons display incomplete or missing Spanish translations within the instruction panels. While the interface and lesson titles are localized, the instructional text remains partially or entirely in English, creating inconsistency for Spanish-speaking users.

🧪 Steps to Reproduce

Navigate to learn.spikersoft.com/tools/csharp-playground.
Open any lesson (e.g., ¡Hola, Mundo!).
Observe the INSTRUCCIONES section.
Notice that the content is written in English despite the interface being in Spanish.

✅ Expected Behavior

All instructional text should be fully translated into Spanish, maintaining consistency with the localized interface.
Example:

“Console.WriteLine is how C# sends text to the screen — your program’s way of talking to whoever is watching.”
→ “Console.WriteLine es cómo C# envía texto a la pantalla — la forma en que tu programa se comunica con quien lo observa.”

❌ Actual Behavior

Lesson instructions remain in English.
Some technical terms are untranslated or mixed between languages.
The learning flow feels inconsistent for Spanish-speaking users.

📸 Evidence

The attached screenshot shows the lesson ¡Hola, Mundo! with English instructions under the Spanish interface.

🧠 Possible Root Cause

Missing translation keys in the lesson content database.
Static English text not linked to localization files.
Partial implementation of language switching for instructional content.

Triage: root cause confirmed while fixing #215 (C# Hello World). The Spanish curriculum files (SpikerSoft.Business/Domain/Lessons/Translations/es/*.json) only contain title + description for every lesson — zero lessons in any track have translated instructions or hints, which is exactly why the INSTRUCCIONES panel stays English under a Spanish UI. This same gap underlies the whole #196–#203 cluster.

spikerj/spikersoft-backend#7 unblocks this: the locale overlay now supports {seedKey} tokens so even randomized lessons can be translated, and lesson 100 ships as the first fully-translated lesson establishing the pattern. The remaining work for this issue is filling in Spanish instructions/hints for the rest of the C# track in es/csharp.json — pure content authoring, no further code changes needed.

Re-verified against current master. Lesson 100 (¡Hola, Mundo!) now has full Spanish instructions/hints in es/csharp.json, matching the example translation given in this report verbatim ("Console.WriteLine es la forma en que C# envía texto a la pantalla...").

Resolved by spikersoft-backend PR #25 (merged to master, part of the #279 → #296 localization effort). Closing.
