The English template from the Localization Utility repo is out of date versus
the shipped game, so some strings never matched and silently fell back to
English. Extracted the game's own TranslationTable_XML from resources.assets
and diffed all three tables against ours.
Left in English (now translated):
- the Vessel district signs (Stepping Stone / Anglerfish Overlook / Eye Shrine),
which had also lost their <color=orange> markup
- "Black Hole Forge controls"
- Marl's "Sigh... I suppose it's my duty as mayor" (lost its <Color=#808080ff>)
- Gneiss's "maybe someone needs a new porch"
- "High Energy Lab Trailhead" had lost its colour markup
Keys the game has that we lacked (17 total):
- ship log "...a conscious observer..." — the template misspells it "concious"
- 6 UI strings: Invert Look (Horizontal) options and their tooltips
- two Sun Station lines where the template writes <pause>, the game <Pause>
- the divergence-meter easter egg and the ASCII-art loading screens
Both spellings are shipped where the template and the game disagree, so either
build matches. Audit now reports 0 missing keys and 0 unintentional English
leaks across 2434 dialogue + 484 ship log + 820 UI entries.

- Reword per review: "an eye or four" -> Maj oko, aj štyri; fishing rhyme 1567
-> ...návnadička (keeps rhyme + "bait is wrong").
- Gender: cross-checked every gendered self-reference against shippy/
outer-wilds-czech. Only 3 disagreements file-wide -> Arkose (feminine),
Porphy (feminine), and the hide-and-seek kid at 1627 (feminine) corrected;
Filix kept feminine (EN "her note" beats Czech's masculine). All other
Hearthians confirmed masculine.
- Definitive leak detection: quote-normalized suffix-of-key test caught 12 more
untranslated values the heuristics missed (curly/straight-quote drift) -
duplicate Eye-shrine walls (1167-1170), Nomai locator, traveler arrival,
hide-and-seek + ghost-matter kid lines. Now 0 English leaks in the flat list.
- Consistency: "The Good Stuff" standardized to Tá Dobrota.
- glossary.md + review-notes.md updated with the gender findings. Build OK.

Compiles the wordplay/puns, coined & provisional terms, gender guesses, and
register/length flags scattered across PLAN.md batch notes and the glossary
into one checklist for the Slovak-speaking human review pass.
