 ## Sub-features
 
 - loc-titles: `document.title` on app and public routes, per language, and a switch retitling the page without a reload. App routes read `<page> · DebateLab` (`usePrivateRouteHead`); public pages use the `pageHead` catalog section (`usePageHead`), whose English text is also what the prerender writes.
 - loc-validation: an empty Attack submit shows `validation.caseTextRequired` in the interface language, and nothing shows before the first submit. Generate, Brainstorm and Factoids use the same keys.
 - loc-switcher: the switcher on `/login`, the 404 page, and the other public pages (`PublicPageShell`), besides the landing page and the app header.
-- loc-links: `/?lang=hu` switches and saves the language, sets `<html lang>`, and drops the parameter; `/es` and `/hu` land on `/` in that language (a client route here; `vercel.json` redirects them on the host).
+- loc-links: `/?lang=hu` switches and saves the language, sets `<html lang>`, and drops the parameter; `/es` and `/hu` are prerendered pages of their own that keep their address, and Start from `/hu` leads into the app in Hungarian.
 - loc-server-error: a refused promo code shows `serverErrors.promoInvalid` in the interface language while redeem-promo still answers in English beside its `code`.

 The free tools under `/tools` ([`src/pages/tools/`](../src/pages/tools/)) are prerendered the same way, listed in [`src/prerender/tool-pages.tsx`](../src/prerender/tool-pages.tsx) with heads in [`src/lib/seo/tool-pages.ts`](../src/lib/seo/tool-pages.ts). They render their own JSON-LD in the page body, so the dev server and the prerendered HTML carry the same structured data, and their `dateModified` is `TOOL_PAGES_MODIFIED` in that file: bump it with a substantive content change. Their speech times come from [`src/lib/free-tools/formats.ts`](../src/lib/free-tools/formats.ts), which cites a league source per format.
 
+The landing page and the free tools also exist in Hungarian and Spanish, each at its own address: `/hu`, `/es`, and the tools under translated slugs such as `/hu/tools/vitaidomero` and `/es/tools/cronometro-debate`. [`src/config/localized-routes.json`](../src/config/localized-routes.json) is the one list of those addresses; the router, the prerender, `check-site` and `llms.txt` read it. The prerender renders each one in its language, with `<html lang>`, a self-canonical, and `hreflang` links for `en`, `hu`, `es` and `x-default` (English) on all three versions; pages without translations get no `hreflang`. Heads come from the `pageHead` catalog section in that language. The translated tool pages reuse the English widgets, take their copy from [`src/pages/tools/localized/`](../src/pages/tools/localized/), and set `dateModified` from that copy's `modified` date. Opening a translated address chooses its language, like a `?lang=` link, so Start leads into the app in that language; choosing another language there moves to that language's address. The old homepage links `/?lang=hu` and `/?lang=es` get a `vercel.json` 301 to `/hu` and `/es`. Vercel appends the original query, so the browser arrives at `/hu?lang=hu`, which is canonical to `/hu`; the client drops `?lang=` on load. `?lang=` on any other page (`/app?lang=hu`) is not redirected.

 `/embed/debate-timer` is a second Vite HTML entry ([`embed/debate-timer/index.html`](../embed/debate-timer/index.html)), not an app route: it loads only the timer, never the app shell, Jam, analytics or the service worker, so a site that frames it sees no third-party request. It is `noindex` with its canonical URL on `/tools/debate-timer`, and the service worker leaves `/embed/` alone.

 After a production deploy, and only with Adam's approval, `npm run seo:indexnow` sends every URL in the sitemap to IndexNow in one request to `api.indexnow.org`, which shares it with Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver and the other engines that take part (not Google). It reads `dist/sitemap.xml` when a build is present and the live sitemap otherwise. `-- --only /tools /` sends just those pages, and `-- --dry-run` prints the request without sending it. The key file is `public/<key>.txt`. It is not wired into CI.
