An audit of the site against the compiler repository found statements
that no longer hold, in all four languages:

- the overview named BUILD.kts as the project definition, while Tazel
  reads one of five names; it now says a project file, BUILD.kts or one
  of four other names;
- the overview and the getting-started guide named Windows and macOS as
  the only development hosts. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and Fedora 43 are official
  hosts too, and the guide says which toolchain they use;
- the getting-started guide listed the counterparts of the examples in
  C#, C++ and Java; the examples also have Rust ones;
- the project-file page wrote build/debug/Example without the .exe a
  Windows build has.

The talac, Tazel and syntax pages were checked against Documents/CLI.md,
Documents/PROJECT_FILES.md and Spec/Language and are otherwise accurate.
Of the 43 links in the repository, only the address inside the Fira Sans
licence text no longer answers; that text is third-party and verbatim.

The browser storage keys still carried the former name of the language:
vxs-locale-choice, vxs-theme and vxs-forum-theme become tala-locale-choice,
tala-theme and tala-forum-theme. A value under a former key moves to the
current one on the first page load, so no visitor loses a choice; a forum
test covers the move. The npm package is renamed from
@visual-xsharp/website to @progmasoft/tala-website, and the forum assets
get a new version query so Cloudflare serves the new script.

<title>Serve tala.run and the documentation of talac and Tazel</title>

The language now lives at tala.run. One frontend build serves three
sites and picks its content from the host name:

- tala.run: the home page, /docs/overview, /docs/getting-started and a
  new /docs/syntax, a first look at programs, comments, declarations,
  operators and evaluation by need, with every sample taken from the
  public specification.
- talac.tala.run: /docs/command-line and /docs/outputs, the compiler's
  options, the entry rule, warnings, --build and --emit, and the record
  of a check.
- tazel.tala.run: /docs/commands and /docs/project-file, the commands of
  the build system, target selection, workspaces and the project DSL.

The new pages are written in all four locales from one content model;
a test keeps code samples and option names identical across them. The
header links the three sites and forum.tala.run. On a development host
?site=talac or ?site=tazel selects a site.

Corrections to the existing pages:

- Getting started used `go run scripts/develop.go`, `talac check -File`,
  `talac build -File` and `-Help`; it now uses `go run ./helpers/cmd/...`,
  `--emit=metadata`, `--entry=` and `--help`.
- The overview no longer names the retired .vxse extension, and the
  project DSL is evaluated by Tazel.
- Canonical URLs, Open Graph data, robots.txt and the sitemap name
  tala.run; talac and tazel have their own robots and sitemap files,
  served per host by Nginx. The notice about the move is gone: the
  former domain redirects instead.
- The leopard mark files are called tala-mark.svg and tala.svg.

Nginx: ops/nginx/tala.conf serves the three hosts, redirects www.tala.run
to tala.run and every path of xsharp-lang.xyz to the same path of
tala.run, and keeps viget.xsharp-lang.xyz pointing at
viget.progmasoft.com; tala.run has no ViGet host of its own.
ops/nginx/forum.conf serves the informational page at forum.tala.run and
redirects the former forum address to it.

<title>Call the language Tala in the text of the site</title>

The logo already said Tala while the header, the titles, the pages and the
forum notice still said Visual X#. The text now names the language Tala in
the four languages of the site, in the page metadata and in the forum notice.

With the name go the things that changed with it: source files end in .tala,
the project file is BUILD.kts, the compiler is talac, and the links lead to
Progmasoft/tala. A native executable still ends in .vxse, so that stays.

The forum page refers to its stylesheet and script with a new version value,
because the script changed and a cache in front of the host keeps the old
file for hours.

Not changed: the host names, the file name of the mark, and the keys under
which the browser keeps the chosen language and theme, so that a visitor
does not lose them.

The language is now Tala. The home page and the social image use the new
logo; the mascot is the same drawing, and the test that compares the mark
with the leopard of the full logo still holds. The logo of the site is the
supplied drawing without its opaque background.

On xsharp-lang.xyz and its subdomains a line above the header says that the
site moves to a new domain within a month and that xsharp-lang.xyz keeps
working and will redirect. The line is written in each of the four languages
of the site and follows the language switch; it is not shown on any other
host, so a preview or the new domain does not carry it.

The rest of the text of the site still says Visual X#; that follows with the
new domain.

<title>Add Hebrew, follow the browser language, and gate the backend docs</title>

Language

Hebrew (he-IL) joins English, German and Russian on the language site, in
the page metadata and in the list the backend reports.

A visitor who has not chosen a language now starts in the language of their
browser: the first preferred language that is published, compared by primary
language, with `iw` accepted as the former code for Hebrew. A browser that
prefers no published language gets en-US. A choice made in the menu is kept
under a new storage key and always wins. The earlier key was written on every
visit, so it could not tell a choice from the former English default; it is
no longer read, which resets an earlier explicit choice once.

Hebrew does not mirror the page. The layout, the navigation and code keep
their left-to-right arrangement; only text follows the language. The onward
arrow points left in Hebrew, and a left-to-right mark keeps "Visual X#"
intact inside right-to-left text.

The forum placeholder no longer has a language menu. It shows its one notice
in the language of the browser, with English as the fallback, and stores no
language. Its assets get a new cache key.

The single documentation column may now shrink below its widest code line.
Before, a long command widened the page on narrow screens, which cut
right-aligned text off.

The Hebrew text was not reviewed by a native speaker.

Documentation gate

The backend applies Dokka 2.2.0 with reportUndocumented and failOnWarning,
its public declarations have KDoc, and CI runs dokkaGenerate. The dependency
lock file and the verification metadata include the new artifacts.

Verified locally: frontend tests, type check, prettier and build; backend
test, bootJar and dokkaGenerate, which was also shown to fail on an
undocumented declaration; the Hebrew pages in a browser. The forum page was
exercised by its tests only.

The edge cache can keep an error response for a static asset for hours. It
did so for the forum script while the files were being replaced. The forum
page now requests its stylesheet and script with a version query; Nginx
serves the same file path, and a new value gives the edge a fresh key.
The integrity test accepts the versioned references.

Russian (ru-RU) is the third locale of the language site: the shell, the
home, overview and getting-started pages, and the page metadata are fully
translated, and the language menu offers it. The documentation sidebar reads
its labels from the page messages instead of a two-way locale test, and the
stored preference is accepted only when it names a supported locale.

The forum placeholder gets the same three languages. Its language control
is now a menu instead of a two-state button, and an unknown stored or
selected value keeps the current language.

The site API lists the new locale. Verified locally: prettier, the frontend
tests, vue-tsc and the Vite build, the backend tests, and a browser run of
the home and overview pages in Russian.
