What changed

  • Added an EN / 中 control to the reading-panel title bar.
  • Switching languages updates the complete interface immediately, including detection, Zotero destination, thought, save, recovery, PDF, and error messages.
  • The selected language survives page changes, browser restarts, and in-place extension upgrades.
  • Language switching does not alter the active paper, thought draft, Zotero destination, panel position, or save state.
  • Closing the panel now flushes the last confirmed browser draft immediately.

Verification

  • Complete Zotero Connector regression suite: 131/131 passed.
  • Dedicated PaperLoop sidebar suite: 10/10 passed, including a real click on the language button and state-preservation assertions.
  • The formal Manifest V3 package is built without debug fixtures.

Known limits

  • The browser extension is still installed in developer mode and has no automatic update channel.
  • Metadata and attachment capture require a supported Zotero translator.
  • PDF access remains subject to publisher login, institutional access, and site controls.
  • PaperLoop does not create guessed, incomplete items on unrecognized pages.
