tala.run, talac.tala.run and tazel.tala.run now each open on a landing page
of their own. talac.tala.run and tazel.tala.run used to redirect "/" to
their first documentation topic. Every landing page has one headline, two
ways in, a "Why Tala?", "Why Talac?" or "Why Tazel?" section of tabs over
one code panel, and a short row of next links. The tabs follow the ARIA
tabs pattern: arrow keys, Home and End move between them. The code panel
stays left to right on the Hebrew pages and has a copy button.

Every sample is something that works today. The Tala tabs show
HelloWorld and PrimeNumbers, which are copies of Examples/ (a test compares
them), a small program that shows an argument evaluated by need, the
LLVM IR that talac -O2 made of the gcd loop of Examples/GCD, and a Tazel
project file. The Talac tabs show the terminal output of talac 0.6.0 for
one command, --emit=metadata, each --emit stage, the optimized IR and a
type error. The Tazel tabs show the project file, the everyday commands,
target selection, lock graph and a did-you-mean hint. Of the fifteen
programs in Examples/, talac 0.6.0 builds four (HelloWorld, GCD,
PrimeNumbers, CollatzTrace), so the classes, generators and pattern
matching of the others are not shown yet.

The old home page said in nearly every paragraph that the work was
unfinished, linked "Why Tala?" three times, and numbered its sections. It
is gone. The state of the project is said once, as a small badge beside
the name in the header. The header no longer repeats a Home link, since
the name leads home. On talac and tazel it lists their documentation
topics. Styles that only the old home page used are removed.

The titles and descriptions of "/" come from the landing content of each
site, and the talac and tazel sitemaps list "/". The tests follow:
siteHome is "/" everywhere, the tazel canonical path is "/", and the
example comparison reads the landing samples.

<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.

Hebrew

A second pass over the Hebrew text replaced words a Hebrew reader would
misread or that are not used for the concept: "native" was rendered with the
word for "local", "lowering" with the word for "download", "pipeline" with a
literal pipe and "front end" with a word not used for compilers. Typed
forms, diagnostics, the ecosystem and the standard library use the usual
terms. The text is still not reviewed by a native speaker.

Language choice

A language change is now stored only after the visitor has acted on the
page, as reported by navigator.userActivation. A change that reaches the
page before anyone has clicked, tapped or typed still changes the language
but is not remembered, so only a person can make a choice. A browser without
the activation API keeps the earlier behaviour.

During local testing a choice was once found stored without one being made.
It could not be reproduced in three attempts, and restoring form state was
shown not to fire a change event, so the cause is unknown; this guard closes
the path in the page itself.

Verified locally: frontend tests, type check, prettier and build. In a
browser, a scripted change before any interaction switched the language and
stored nothing, and a change after a real click was stored and survived a
navigation. The forum page was opened in a browser: one notice, no language
menu, English for a Turkish browser, and the Hebrew, German and Russian
notices when the script ran with those browser languages.

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.

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.
