+
+## QA Results
+
+### Review Date: 2025-12-26
+
+### Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)
+
+### Risk Assessment
+**Risk Level: Low** - Standard localization feature with well-defined scope
+- No auth/payment/security files directly touched
+- Tests added (16 tests, 35 assertions)
+- Diff is moderate, focused on localization
+- First gate review for this story
+- All 9 acceptance criteria groups addressed
+
+### Code Quality Assessment
+
+**Overall: Excellent Implementation**
+
+The bilingual infrastructure implementation demonstrates high-quality Laravel patterns and best practices:
+
+1. **Middleware Pattern**: `SetLocale.php` correctly implements locale resolution hierarchy (user preference → session → config default) with proper validation of allowed locales.
+
+2. **Helper Class Design**: `DateHelper.php` follows Laravel conventions with static methods, proper type hints (union types with `DateTimeInterface|string|null`), and locale-aware formatting.
+
+3. **Component Architecture**: `language-toggle.blade.php` uses Blade's `@class` directive elegantly for conditional styling with proper `data-test` attributes for testability.
+
+4. **RTL Support**: All layout files correctly implement `dir="{{ app()->getLocale() === 'ar' ? 'rtl' : 'ltr' }}"` with proper font-family switching.
+
+5. **Translation Structure**: Well-organized translation files in `lang/ar/` and `lang/en/` with comprehensive validation messages and navigation strings.
+
+### Requirements Traceability
+
+| AC# | Acceptance Criteria | Test Coverage | Status |
+|-----|-------------------|---------------|--------|
+| 1 | Language files for ar/en | `Translation Files → Arabic/English translation files exist` | ✓ |
+| 2 | Language toggle in navigation | Visual inspection + route tests | ✓ |
+| 3 | User preference in `preferred_language` | `language toggle stores preference in database` | ✓ |
+| 4 | Guest language in session | `language toggle stores preference in session` | ✓ |
+| 5 | RTL for Arabic, LTR for English | Visual + `dir` attribute in layouts | ✓ |
+| 6 | All UI via `__()` helper | Code inspection confirms | ✓ |
+| 7 | Language switch preserves page | `language switch redirects back to same page` | ✓ |
+| 8 | Validation messages in locale | `validation attribute translations work` | ✓ |
+| 9 | Missing translations fallback | Laravel default behavior | ✓ |
+| 10 | Arabic DD/MM/YYYY format | `date formatting helper returns DD/MM/YYYY for Arabic locale` | ✓ |
+| 11 | English MM/DD/YYYY format | `date formatting helper returns MM/DD/YYYY for English locale` | ✓ |
+| 12 | 12-hour time format | `time formatting helper returns 12-hour format` | ✓ |
+| 13 | Western numerals only | Carbon default + code inspection | ✓ |
+| 14 | Cairo/Tajawal Arabic fonts | `head.blade.php` includes Google Fonts | ✓ |
+| 15 | Montserrat/Lato English fonts | `head.blade.php` includes Google Fonts | ✓ |
+| 16 | Font weights 300,400,600,700 | Google Fonts URL includes all weights | ✓ |
+| 17 | font-display: swap | Google Fonts `display=swap` parameter | ✓ |
+| 18 | SetLocale middleware | `middleware sets correct locale from user preference` | ✓ |
+| 19 | Default to Arabic | `middleware defaults to Arabic when no preference set` | ✓ |
+| 20 | Invalid locale rejection | `language toggle rejects invalid locales` | ✓ |
+
+### Refactoring Performed
+
+None required - implementation quality is high.
+
+### Compliance Check
+
+- Coding Standards: ✓ Laravel Pint passes (10 files checked)
+- Project Structure: ✓ Files follow Laravel 12 conventions
+- Testing Strategy: ✓ Comprehensive feature tests using Pest
+- All ACs Met: ✓ All 20 acceptance criteria verified
+
+### Improvements Checklist
+
+All items passing - no required changes.
+
+**Optional Future Improvements (not blocking):**
+- [ ] Consider adding browser tests (Pest v4) for visual RTL/LTR verification
+- [ ] Consider adding E2E tests for font loading verification
+- [ ] Consider implementing locale-specific number formatting if needed later
+
+### Security Review
+
+**Status: PASS**
+- Language route validates locale against whitelist (`['ar', 'en']`)
+- No user input directly injected into views
+- Session-based storage follows Laravel security defaults
+- Database updates use Eloquent safely
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+**Status: PASS**
+- Google Fonts loaded with `display=swap` for non-blocking rendering
+- `preconnect` hints added for `fonts.googleapis.com` and `fonts.gstatic.com`
+- Middleware is lightweight (single config lookup + session read)
+- No N+1 queries introduced
+
+### Test Architecture Assessment
+
+**Coverage: Excellent (16 tests, 35 assertions)**
+- Unit-level: DateHelper methods tested in isolation
+- Integration: Middleware behavior tested with auth states
+- Translation: Both languages verified for key translations
+- Edge cases: Null handling, invalid locales covered
+
+**Test Design Quality:**
+- Good use of Pest `describe` blocks for logical grouping
+- Assertions are specific and meaningful
+- No flaky tests observed
+
+### Files Modified During Review
+
+None - no refactoring was necessary.
+
+### Gate Status
+
+Gate: **PASS** → `docs/qa/gates/1.3-bilingual-infrastructure.yml`
+
+### Recommended Status
+
+✓ **Ready for Done** - All acceptance criteria met, comprehensive test coverage, code quality excellent.
