Document an official Bionic localization and RTL contribution path #252

Description

@MiRHaDi

Hello LM Studio team,

I would like to contribute a professionally reviewed Persian (fa-IR) localization and RTL support to Bionic through an official, supported route.

Before filing this request, I searched the LM Studio organization for Bionic localization, Persian, and RTL issues. I found general RTL discussions (for example, localization#272 and lms#568), but no Bionic-specific catalog or contribution path.

What I verified in a local Windows test with Bionic 1.0.9 (build 2):

  • the main and settings UI displayed in English;
  • unsent mixed Persian/Latin/numeral input rendered right-aligned and RTL correctly in the composer;
  • the public lmstudio-ai/localization repository appears to cover LM Studio, but I could not find a Bionic catalog or Bionic contribution instructions.

Could you please document the minimum supported contribution interface for Bionic localization?

  1. The official repository/catalog format and contribution steps.
  2. How a locale declares fa-IR and direction: rtl, including LTR isolation for code, paths, URLs, and model IDs.
  3. The supported preview and validation workflow.

If that interface is not public yet, simply confirming the intended repository or tracker would be enough to unblock a proper contribution.

I prepared a small clean-room readiness kit with candidate locale metadata, mixed-direction acceptance cases, an RTL review checklist, and dependency-free validation rules:

The kit contains no Bionic binaries, extracted strings, or claim of a completed Bionic translation. It can be adapted to the official format once that format is published or confirmed.

Thank you.
