i18n status: Applies - deferred to the first public release
Reason: the site is a public-facing HTML surface, so the internationalization standard is not N/A; a reader does not stop deserving a translated page because the underlying datasets are English. It is deferred, not skipped, because today every graded source (College Scorecard, IPEDS) is a US federal English-language dataset, the site's argument prose is authored in English, and the project has no release and no audience yet. Translating the rationales badly would be worse than stating plainly that they are English-only for now.
Entry point when this graduates: the site's user-facing strings live in the page templates in
src/disclosed/site.py; they would move to a message catalog (gettext .po) with the
classification tokens (reported, missing, suppressed, not_applicable, implausible)
kept as stable machine keys in the CSV export and translated only at the presentation layer.
