 ### Changed
 
+- Indic console locales (Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu): IoT resource names (gateway, node, source, field, firmware, data repository, resource, virtual device, virtual assistant, payload, forward payload, quick ID, protocol, label, library, variable, chart interpolation) are native-script loanwords (Tamil கேட்வே, லேபிள், வேரியபிள், லினியர்), not Latin English and not calques such as நுழைவாயில். Product names and protocol abbreviations stay Latin. Relative timestamps (Last seen, Created on, No change since) follow the selected language (`Intl.RelativeTimeFormat`; under ~45 seconds still shows “a few seconds ago”).
 - Console colour scheme is PatternFly **light**, **dark**, or **system** (follows the OS). Custom themes from the data repository (`labels.gui_theme`) are removed. The choice is stored in the browser (`localStorage` `mc-theme`). The header has a compact joined theme control and a locale dropdown (`🇬🇧 EN-UK`). Dark mode uses PatternFly tokens for labels, forms, topology, and widgets. Dashboard tiles no longer use a grey fill.
 - Release workflow builds host binaries (Go 1.27.1 in Actions) and copies only those binaries into Alpine 3.24 images on the same runner (no artifact upload/download). Images are pushed to GHCR, Quay, and Docker Hub as a single multi-arch `:${VERSION}` tag (no per-arch tags). `main` republishes the `development` pre-release by deleting and recreating it.
 - Policy **Import** uses `storage.Upsert` so `createdOn` / `modifiedOn` come from the backup file (same as other resources). Built-in policies are still skipped.

 The UI uses `i18next` + `react-i18next` + `i18next-http-backend`. YAML is parsed with `js-yaml`. Detection order is Redux stored language, then the browser; unknown codes fall back to `en_GB`. Hyphens are normalized to underscores (`en-GB` → `en_GB`).

+Do not use calques such as Tamil நுழைவாயில் / முனை / அடையாளம் / நெறிமுறை / குறிச்சொல் / நூலகம் for those names. Do not write Latin `Gateway` inside a Tamil sentence. Keep product names and protocol abbreviations Latin (MyController, MQTT, HTTP, JSON, API).
+
+Plurals attach without a hyphen (`கேட்வேகள்`, not `கேட்வே-கள்`). Kannada/Telugu use ZWNJ before the suffix (`ನೋಡ್‌ಗಳು`, `నోడ్‌లు`); Malayalam uses `-ുകൾ` (`നോഡുകൾ`). Hindi often keeps the same form for singular and plural loanwords (`गेटवे`). Do not reuse a clearly singular form as a list title in ta/kn/ml/te.

+Other UI verbs (Save, Backup, Restore, Upload, Reboot, Reset) stay native and distinct.
 
 **European, Hebrew, Chinese**  
 Use the established professional IT term in that language. Keep a loanword when it is clearer than a coined calque (`Payload`, `Gateway`, `Handler`, `Dashboard`, `Widget`, `Firmware`, `Token` are often better than *carga útil*, *Pasarela*, *承載*, *מטען*).
