JP locale: CD Walkman / MD Walkman naming cleanup
Summary
- Goal completed: JP-facing archive labels now use
CDウォークマンandMDウォークマン - Scope: presentation-layer Japanese labels only unless broader touchpoints were required to keep JP output consistent
- Validation style: static inspection only

What changed
The Japanese presentation layer was updated so the archive now presents:
ディスクマンasCDウォークマンMiniDisc / ミニディスクasMDウォークマン
This was applied across JP-facing category and taxonomy surfaces, including:
- primary family navigation
- JP header navigation labels and panel labels
- collections and articles category labels
- year-guide labels and localized year headings
- JP article titles and subtitles for Discman and MiniDisc year pages
- search scope labels and search result family labels
- JP archive copy used in search and hub descriptions
- timeline description copy
- JP-facing archive summary text in related shared content
Safety notes
Internal identifiers, routes, slugs, filenames, and core family keys such as discman and minidisc were preserved.
The update was kept at the Japanese presentation layer. A few shared files outside src/data/reference/locales/jp were touched only because they are responsible for rendering JP-facing labels:
src/components/AudioFamilyNav.astrosrc/lib/archiveSearch.tssrc/lib/localizedYearLabels.tssrc/data/ui/ui-strings-safe.jssrc/data/ui/ui-strings.jssrc/pages/about.astrosrc/data/books.ts
Preserved historical uses
Historical or explanatory body text that still refers to Discman or MiniDisc was intentionally left in place when it functions as archival narrative rather than UI taxonomy.
Examples:
src/data/reference/locales/jp/discman-articles-jp.js- intro and conclusion lines discussing the historical Discman era were preserved
- reason: these lines describe the period term, not the archive's current category label
src/data/reference/locales/jp/minidisc-articles-jp.js- narrative body lines discussing MiniDisc as a historical format were preserved
- reason: these are historical explanations rather than current navigation or taxonomy labels
src/data/reference/locales/jp/minidisc-collections-jp.js- long intro text that discusses MiniDisc historically was preserved
- reason: explanatory collection context
Final confirmation
The Japanese archive now presents the updated naming consistently across the major taxonomy surfaces without changing the underlying site structure.
Some preserved historical narrative uses of Discman and MiniDisc remain by design in archival body copy.
