    Marketing pages localized

    Moved the core static pages toward a consistent multi-locale experience.

    • Localized About, Contact, Changelog, FAQ, Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Content Policy, and Feedback pages.

    • Kept the page shell, breadcrumbs, footer links, and sidebar navigation consistent across locale routes.

    Reached 400+ tools

    The catalog crossed 400 utilities while preserving the client-first, no-login workflow.

    • Broadened coverage across JSON, encoding, color, network checks, generators, text utilities, media helpers, and productivity tools.
    • Continued consolidating shared layouts so new tools launch with familiar controls and predictable behavior.
    • Improved internal catalog organization for future additions and ongoing maintenance.

  4. May 2026

    Multilingual localization

    Expanded the foundation for serving ZonoTools in multiple languages.

    • Added locale-aware marketing copy for the main static pages.
    • Extended localized routes and metadata support across the public site shell.
    • Improved fallback behavior so untranslated areas still remain usable while localization continues.

    Privacy-first initiative
