Phase 6C.2 Library translation-equivalence audit

Date: October 11, 2026
Starting checkpoint: a699d467f19fafbfdda5fce1ce6226baa6e5fc3c
Scope: every explicit English–Spanish and English–Arabic Library relationship in the Astro content collection

Method and evidence limits

The inventory was derived from the content collection's validated translationKey values, rather than inferred from titles or URL shapes. Each translated article was compared with its English counterpart for subject, scope, heading sequence, explanations, examples, clinical qualifications, FAQs, tables, images, calls to action, contextual links, and conclusion. The Phase 6C 74-article parity audit supplied the same-language public-versus-local findings for all 74 routes. Phase 6C.2 made five bounded public requests for the materially changed source families; their cache and source details are recorded in phase-6c2-source-evidence-2026-10-11.json.

The public responses are HubSpot prerender/cache representations. Their saved Last-Modified, x-hs-prerendered, cache state, and hashes provide reproducible evidence, but do not prove a newly rendered origin response. Structural similarity was not treated as linguistic approval. No fluent-language reviewer or clinician participated in this implementation pass.

The inventory contains 19 relationships: 12 English–Spanish and seven English–Arabic. Before implementation, 15 were substantively equivalent, two had minor contextual-link drift, one had substantial structural drift, and one had become a different article with substantial semantic drift. This phase replaced both materially outdated counterparts. The two minor self-advocacy differences remain suitable for the later bounded link/editorial batch because they do not change the articles' principal subject or guidance.

The fall-break article has no explicit Spanish or Arabic counterpart. No translation was created.

Reconciled Spanish school-readiness article

The current public Spanish article is an idiomatic, source-published counterpart to the revised English guide. Phase 6C.2 transcribed its complete current body, metadata, 18 headings, table, nine FAQs, two Spanish-language infographics, and localized links. English-only destinations are retained only where no validated Spanish article exists and are labeled “en inglés”; no locale-prefixed route was guessed. Its independently observed Spanish publication date remains 2025-09-02, with the source-supported updatedDate of 2026-09-25.

The content describes Arizona school readiness, ABA's clinical role, educational access, and AIA Preparatory Academy's 2–6 program and 1:2 ratio. Those statements require fluent Spanish plus clinical/editorial and organizational review before cutover, even though the text came from the public Spanish source.

Reconciled Arabic antecedent/consequence article

The public Arabic route still presents the old short back-to-school article, so it could not serve as the content source for the repurposed English publication. Phase 6C.2 replaced the local Arabic body with a complete Modern Standard Arabic translation of the revised English article while preserving the Arabic URL, author, publication date, and explicit translation key. No migration or English modification date was substituted for an Arabic publication date.

The replacement includes the ABC model, all substantive sections, three semantic tables, six FAQs, all three source images, translated alternatives and explanations, references, conclusion, and same-locale links where validated. Links to English-only material use Arabic anchor text that signals the language change. <bdi dir="ltr"> isolates principal Latin abbreviations such as ABC, ABA, BCBA, FBA, DRA, DRI, and DRO. Article tables use the shared responsive overflow safeguard at narrow widths.

The three reused source graphics contain English text. Arabic alternatives, tables, and surrounding prose convey their essential meaning, but localized graphics remain an accessibility and visual-translation acceptance item. The translation is migration-produced and has not received fluent Arabic or professional clinical/editorial approval. It is therefore a pre-cutover translation acceptance blocker, even though its required structure and publication relationship validate technically.

Clinical, editorial, and organizational review gates

Reviewers should specifically assess:

• the distinction between general AIA ABA eligibility (18 months through eight years) and AIA Preparatory Academy's described 2–6 program;
• the Academy's stated 1:2 staffing ratio and the statement that it is clinical ABA rather than a school substitute;
• Arizona school-access and educational-responsibility language;
• functional assessment, reinforcement, differential reinforcement, extinction/ignoring, safety, self-injury, aggression, and BCBA-involvement guidance;
• claims about generalization, participation, and expected support outcomes;
• Arabic clinical terminology and naturalness, including the translation of antecedent, consequence, setting event, function, and replacement behavior;
• Spanish school-readiness terminology and all public organizational claims.

Existing translation keys, canonicals, eligibility, sitemap policy, and hreflang relationships were preserved. Technical validation is not a substitute for the reviews above.
