Summary

English instructional comments remain visible in the JavaScript Playground despite the user interface being set to Spanish.

Issue Description

Within the JavaScript Playground lessons, code editor comments and certain instructional text appear in English while the rest of the interface and lesson content are correctly localized to Spanish. This inconsistency occurs across multiple JavaScript lessons.

Environment

Property	Value
Application	SpikerSoft Learn
Module	JavaScript Playground
Environment	Production
Browser	Firefox
Operating System	Windows 11
Version	v2026.06.28e

Steps to Reproduce

Log in to the SpikerSoft platform.
Navigate to Learn > JavaScript Playground.
Open any lesson (e.g., Declaración de función vs expresión).
Observe the instructional text and code editor comments.

Expected Result

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

Actual Result

Code editor comments remain in English while the rest of the interface and lesson content are localized to Spanish.

Evidence

The screenshot shows the lesson Declaración de función vs expresión with English comments such as // Use the lesson concept first, then refine. under a Spanish interface.
The INSTRUCCIONES panel is correctly localized, but the code editor content is not.
The sidebar and lesson titles are displayed in Spanish, confirming that the language setting is active.

Impact

Spanish-speaking users encounter mixed-language content.
Learning flow and comprehension are disrupted.
Localization consistency across lessons is broken.

Frequency

Always

Reproducibility

100%

Severity

Medium

Notes

Same behavior observed in Python Playground lessons. Occurs across all JavaScript Playground lessons. No workaround available.

[Epic][Bug] Localize lesson code-template comments (Spanish) across all playgrounds #296

Same shared root cause as #288 — lesson code-template comments are never localized (JavaScript track). Consolidated into epic #296; engineering support lands in spikersoft-backend PR #36, JS content fan-out follows under the epic. Closing as a duplicate of #296.
