Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

'Hana' means 'to do, make, create'. This better reflects the act of *creating* a variable and binding it to a value. It's a more active and appropriate translation in this context. It also aligns well with the concept of 'making' a variable exist.

Issue breakdown

  • accuracy While 'ae' (to permit, allow) isn't *incorrect*, it's a bit weak for 'let' in the context of variable declaration. 'Let' implies binding a name to a value, and 'ae' feels more passive.
