Description

p5.js version

2.0.1

What is your operating system?

Windows

Web browser and version

Chrome Version 136.0.7103.93

Actual Behavior

When viewing the “About” page of the p5.js Editor in a non-English language (e.g., Spanish), some sections still display text in English. This includes the introductory paragraph and various descriptions under sections like “Get Involved” and “Resources,” which remain untranslated even though the rest of the UI is localized.

Expected Behavior

All static text on the “About” page should be fully translated and displayed in the selected language, ensuring a consistent and complete user experience across all supported locales.

Steps to reproduce
Steps:
  1. Open a sketch in the web editor.
  2. Select the language other than english.
  3. Go to Help section and click on About.

Research direction

Open the p5.js Editor, switch to a non-English language, and visit Help > About to identify the remaining English strings. Trace those About-page strings and their locale entries, then verify that the introductory paragraph and the Get Involved and Resources descriptions display in the selected language.
