+# Cursor AI i18n Rules
+The following rules and guidelines should be followed to ensure proper internationalization (i18n) support in Cursor AI agents:
+1. **Use translation keys**: All user-facing strings must use translation keys instead of hardcoded text. Reference the appropriate key from your locale files.
+2. **Locale files**: Store translations in locale-specific files (e.g., `en.json`, `fr.json`). Ensure all supported languages are kept in sync.
+3. **Fallback language**: Always provide a fallback language (usually English) for missing translations.
+4. **Pluralization and formatting**: Use i18n libraries that support pluralization, date, and number formatting according to the user's locale.
+5. **No concatenation**: Avoid string concatenation for translatable text. Use interpolation features provided by your i18n library.
+6. **Contextual translations**: Provide context for translators where necessary, especially for ambiguous terms.
+7. **Testing**: Test agents in multiple locales to ensure all strings are translated and formatting is correct.
+_For more details, refer to the Cursor AI i18n documentation or contact the localization team._
