English First With Critical Urdu Safety Information
Question
What language scope is responsible for the first public release?
Problem
A full multilingual launch managed by one founder can create inconsistent legal and safety language, while English-only critical warnings can exclude some families.
Decision
The first release uses English as the controlled source language and provides reviewed Urdu access for the global Stage One limitation, no-case warning, and Urgent Help essentials.
Rationale
This keeps the controlled copy manageable while ensuring critical safety and scope information is not English-only.
Alternatives considered
English only; full Urdu site at launch; automatic machine translation; multiple regional languages immediately.
Risks
Most long-form pages remain English-first. Translation expansion requires qualified review and a later decision.
Scope impact
No unreviewed automatic translation is presented as official guidance.
Privacy and safeguarding impact
Language choice does not change data collection.
