description	Project-specific guidelines for the Open Headers repo. Use when working on copy, translations/localization, docs, or UI strings in this project to preserve networking terms (header, request, value, host, url, path, etc.) and apply project terminology rules.

Open Headers Guidelines

Overview

Follow these rules whenever generating or editing language content in this repo, especially translations. Keep networking terms in English unless explicitly told otherwise.

For full conventions, see docs/CONVENTIONS.md.

Terminology Rules

• Do not translate "header" to Swedish "Rubriker". Use "header" (or "headers") as the canonical term.
• Keep these networking terms unchanged across languages: header, request, value, host, url, path.
• For related networking terms not listed, default to leaving them in English and ask if a translation is desired.
• Preserve original casing (for example, Header, URL) when matching surrounding text.

Commit Messages
