Working directory: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\explorer_survey_i18n_1
Authoritative request: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md (specifically section ## 2026-10-02T01:42:06Z)
Project scope: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_13\PROJECT.md

Your mission:
Investigate the current i18n architecture and cross-platform language handling across FreeExile:
1. Read ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md.
2. Search for existing localization files, dictionaries, or modules in client/webapp/js/ (e.g. i18n.js, locales/, localization/, or dictionaries).
3. Examine how settings modal (client/webapp/js/ui/settings_modal.js or similar) handles language selection (Vietnamese, English, etc.). Where is the selected language stored (localStorage, cookie, memory)? What events (if any) are dispatched when language changes?
4. Check other UI modules to see how they handle translations. Is there an existing EventBus / Observer pattern in the client?
5. Determine cross-platform requirements: How does language propagate across Web PWA, iOS Metal/Mobile, and Desktop without reloading the page?
6. Design the recommended reactive i18n architecture:
   - Centralized i18n manager with language change event bus (pub/sub or CustomEvent).
   - Dynamic subscriber mechanism for UI components (Chat UI, Settings, Inventory, etc.).
   - Standard dictionary structure and key naming conventions.
7. Write your comprehensive report to c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\explorer_survey_i18n_1\survey_report.md and write a standard handoff report to c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\explorer_survey_i18n_1\handoff.md. Send a completion message back to orchestrator_13.
