Summary

The instructions section in the JavaScript Playground remains in English when the platform language is set to Spanish.

Issue Description

The instructions panel within the JavaScript Playground lesson does not localize correctly. Despite the interface being set to Español, the instructional text remains in English. This creates inconsistency in the localized learning environment.

  • Affected Component: Lesson instruction panel in JavaScript Playground
  • Observed Behavior: Instructional text displayed in English while other UI elements are in Spanish
  • User Impact: Spanish-speaking users encounter mixed-language content
  • Visible Symptoms: English text under the “INSTRUCCIONES” heading

Environment

Property Value
Application SpikerSoft Learning Platform
Module JavaScript Playground
Environment Production
Browser Firefox
Operating System Windows 11
Version v2026.06.26a
Device Desktop PC

Preconditions

Platform language set to Español.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Navigate to learn.spikersoft.com/tools/javascript-playground.
  2. Switch the interface language to Español.
  3. Open lesson 30300 – if y else.
  4. Observe the INSTRUCCIONES section.

Expected Result

All instructional text should appear in Spanish, consistent with the selected language.

Actual Result

Instructional text remains in English despite the interface being localized to Spanish.

Evidence

  • Screenshot shows lesson “if y else” with English instructions:
    • “Concept first: if and else is a pattern you can reuse. Understand what changes and what stays the same, then build it in small steps.”
    • “Define temperatureLabel(degreesC) that returns "hot" when the temperature is >= 30, "cold" when it's <= 10, and "mild" for everything in between.”
    • “Use if and else (or else if) blocks. Always wrap the body in {} even if it's one statement — this avoids classic dangling-else bugs.”
  • Interface elements such as “Playground de JavaScript”, “Enviar”, and “Nuevo intento” are correctly displayed in Spanish.

Impact

  • Localization inconsistency within lesson content.
  • Spanish-speaking users may struggle to follow instructions.
  • Reduces overall translation completeness and platform usability.

Re-verified against current master. Lesson 30300 (if y else) now has full Spanish instructions/hints in es/javascript.json, matching the text quoted in this report verbatim:

"Lo primero es el concepto: if y else es un patrón que puedes reutilizar..."

Resolved by spikersoft-backend PR #26 (merged to master, part of the #279#296 localization effort). Closing.
