English writes '<name>' — the single quotes are ICU's escape, so the span
renders as literal text. Every backend drops them, and the translated message
then parses as an unclosed ICU tag: the nine locales of the first batch each
shipped two such strings and only CI caught them.
translateString and translateBatch now restore the quoting, doubling an
apostrophe inside the span so it does not close the literal early (Estonian
OmniRoute'i, Irish d'eochair). Messages whose English mixes real markup with a
literal span are left untouched, since there is no safe way to tell the two
apart.
Batch 1 of the locale expansion: Greek, Croatian, Serbian, Lithuanian, Estonian, Latvian, Slovenian, Maltese and Irish across the dashboard catalog, docs mirrors, CLI catalog, README, locale index and the site. 42 → 51 locales.
Also fixes the ICU literal escape the translation backend dropped around angle placeholders, four translations that invented or renamed a placeholder, the language bars that linked to mirrors that do not exist, and the migration count drift (171 → 172).
⚠️ base-red inherited: #12732 — the four unit shards and Fast Quality Gates fail identically on unrelated PRs cut from the same base.
