Replace mixed Latin English in Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu UI strings. Gateway, node, field, source, resource, data repository, and ID use native wording (Tamil நுழைவாயில், முனை, புலம், மூலம், வளம், தரவுக் களஞ்சியம், அடையாளம்). Product names and protocol abbreviations stay as-is.
Keep gateway, node, source, field, firmware, data repository, resource, virtual device, virtual assistant, payload, forward payload, and quick ID as native-script loans (Tamil கேட்வே), not Latin English and not calques such as நுழைவாயில்.

Tamil protocol is புரோட்டோக்கால், not நெறிமுறை. Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, and Telugu already used the loanword.
Tamil label is லேபிள் (not குறிச்சொல்), library is லைப்ரரி (not நூலகம்). no_change_since is மாற்றமின்றி உள்ளது.
Last seen / created on / no change since used English fromNow() because moment was never switched with the console language.
Drop moment locales (they stayed English under Vite). Last seen uses Intl.RelativeTimeFormat and keeps the few-seconds bucket. Chart interpolation and Tamil variable are native-script loans.
Keep native-script loanwords only in Indian locales. Put back the previous Natural/Step wording in de, he, pl, ro, ru, and zh.

Summary
Indic console locales keep IoT resource names as native-script loanwords, not Latin English and not calques.
Examples (Tamil):
Same approach in Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, and Telugu. Product names (MySensors, ESPHome, Google Assistant) and protocol tokens (HTTP, MQTT, API, JSON) stay Latin.
Plurals attach without a hyphen (
கேட்வேகள்). Kannada/Telugu use ZWNJ before the suffix; Malayalam uses-ുകൾ.Test plan
