 Both paths use `microsoft/vscode-python-extensions-loc`, branch **`dev`**, with canonical extension ID **`ms-python.debugpy`**. English XLF is stored in `src/en/ms-python.debugpy` and handbacks in `out/ms-python.debugpy`. The action and Azure tooling checkout are pinned to the same reviewed revision.

 Keep English `package.nls.json` tracked. Root `package.nls.<locale>.json` and `l10n/` runtime files are generated, git-ignored release outputs. VSCE must include generated locale files despite Git ignores. Local builds are English-only unless translations are imported explicitly (debugger pre-built assets remain available, but the release import runs after their overlay and is authoritative).
 
-Translation is asynchronous. All 14 supported locales must be present, and every required real-language table must contain translation evidence. Individual untranslated strings are allowed. Missing, incomplete, or wholly untranslated handbacks fail before packaging, without falling back to stale translations. Do not publish while onboarding or real translated output is pending.
+Translation is asynchronous. Nonempty manifest and runtime tables must be present for all 14 supported locales. Untranslated strings, including wholly untranslated tables, are allowed; users see English until translations arrive. Missing, empty, malformed, or incomplete handbacks still fail before packaging, without falling back to stale translations.
