This PR updates the translation lag workflow for more accurate output.

Summary

This PR adds a translation status report identifying pages where English source files have been updated more recently than their translations.

Findings

  • 7 Spanish pages need translation updates
  • 12 French pages need translation updates
  • 9 Chinese pages need translation updates
  • No missing translations - all 184 English pages have counterparts in all three languages

Most stale (100+ days behind)

Language Page Days behind
es, fr, zh guides/seo.mdx 108
fr guides/understand-your-audience.mdx 104
zh guides/auth0.mdx, guides/geo.mdx, guides/maintenance.mdx, guides/navigation.mdx 101

Action required

Most changes are Vale style fixes (future tense to present tense, punctuation). The agent/workflows.mdx file contains new content (Slack notifications) requiring actual translation.

See TRANSLATION_STATUS.md for the full breakdown by language.


Note

Low Risk
Low risk: documentation-only changes that add a static report file and clarify workflow instructions without impacting runtime code or user data.

Overview
Updates .mintlify/workflows/translation-lag.md to require diff-based classification of English vs. translated changes, explicitly separating needs translation vs. style-only/no-action updates and skipping purely style-driven deltas.

Adds TRANSLATION_STATUS.md, a generated snapshot report summarizing out-of-sync pages for es/, fr/, and zh/, including staleness ordering, last English update dates, and brief change summaries.

Update the prompt to inspect actual diffs rather than just comparing
modification dates. The workflow now classifies changes as requiring
translation (new/changed content) or not (Vale style fixes, punctuation,
tense corrections) and only flags pages that genuinely need translator
action.
