Summary

Hint text (“Pistas”) in the Regex Playground remains in English while the user interface and lesson content are displayed in Spanish.

Issue Description

Within the Regex Playground lessons, hint messages under the “Pistas” section appear in English despite the platform language being set to Spanish. This inconsistency affects all lessons under the “Expresiones regulares” module.

Environment

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

Preconditions

User must be logged in and have Spanish selected as the display language.

Steps to Reproduce

Log in to the SpikerSoft platform.
Navigate to Learn > Regex Playground.
Open any lesson (e.g., Coincidir con una palabra literal).
Observe the hint section labeled Pistas.

Expected Result

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

Actual Result

Hint text remains in English while the rest of the interface and lesson content are localized to Spanish.

Evidence

The screenshot shows the lesson Coincidir con una palabra literal with English hints such as:
- “Start simple: plain letters in a pattern match the same plain letters in the text.”
- “Build the pattern from three literal characters in sequence: c, then a, then t.”
The INSTRUCCIONES panel and lesson titles are correctly localized to Spanish, confirming 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, JavaScript, C, C++, and Assembler Playground lessons. Occurs across all Regex 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 (Regex track). Consolidated into epic #296; engineering support lands in spikersoft-backend PR #36, Regex content fan-out follows under the epic. Closing as a duplicate of #296.
