From 731b563f9c206592b7cc5122edd541713b982021 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sangguen Chang <33509021+sgwannabe@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2026 11:03:02 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] docs(contributing): English-only language policy (#102) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Repo language has been inconsistent: every shipped artifact (README, code, commits, CHANGELOG, all PR bodies) is in English, but 23 GitHub issues authored by an auditor agent (#58–#80) shipped in Korean. This commit adds a "Language" section to CONTRIBUTING.md so the standard is repo-discoverable and not just agent-memory-only. The auditor agent's persistent memory was already hard-locked to English on 2026-04-25; this is the project-side guardrail. Body-level translation of issues #58–#80 is tracked separately under #102 and applied via gh issue edit (no git history rewrite).
