*
* @description
* **INTELLIGENCE OPERATIVE PERSPECTIVE**
*
* This validator ensures the homepage and main content pages maintain proper
* language metadata across all 14 supported language editions. While appearing
* as a technical SEO task, language validation serves critical intelligence
* functions: ensuring international readers can discover content in their
* language, preventing search engine deindexing, and maintaining consistent
* information architecture across the multilingual platform.
*
* **METADATA VALIDATION FRAMEWORK:**
* The validator checks seven critical metadata elements for each language:
*
* 1. **HTML lang Attribute Correctness**
* - Validates lang="xx" matches ISO 639-1 language codes
* - Detects mismatches (e.g., Swedish content with lang="en")
* - Critical for: Screen readers, search engines, browser font selection
* Intelligence impact: Accessibility for visually-impaired international readers
*
* 2. **dir="rtl" for Right-to-Left Languages**
* - Validates Arabic (AR) and Hebrew (HE) have dir="rtl" attribute
* - Detects LTR incorrectly applied to RTL content
* - Critical for: Text layout, number display, punctuation handling
* Intelligence impact: Readability for Middle Eastern audience
*
* 3. **Title Tag Presence & Uniqueness**
* - Ensures <title> tag exists and is language-appropriate
* - Detects duplicate titles across language versions
* - Critical for: Browser tab display, search engine indexing
* Intelligence impact: Click-through rates from search results
*
* 4. **Meta Description Presence**
* - Validates meta description tag for SEO preview
* - Detects missing or placeholder descriptions
* - Critical for: Google snippet display, CTR optimization
* Intelligence impact: Search engine visibility for each language
*
* 5. **Canonical URL Correctness**
* - Ensures canonical URL points to correct language version
* - Detects broken or missing canonical tags
* - Critical for: Preventing search engine penalization
* Intelligence impact: Prevents duplicate content SEO issues
*
* 6. **Hreflang Tag Completeness**
* - Validates presence of hreflang tags for all language versions
* - Checks all target languages are represented
* - Critical for: Search engine language targeting
* Intelligence impact: Users find correct language version
*
* 7. **Open Graph Protocol for Social Media**
* - Ensures og:locale matches language code
* - Validates og:title and og:description presence
* - Critical for: Social media preview appearance
* Intelligence impact: Engagement rates when articles shared
*
* 8. **Schema.org Structured Data**
* - Validates JSON-LD for news articles and organizations
* - Ensures @language property matches content language
* - Critical for: Rich snippets, knowledge graph integration
* Intelligence impact: Enhanced search visibility and credibility
*
* **LANGUAGE CONFIGURATIONS (14 Total):**
* - EN: English (Primary international language)
* - SV: Swedish (Source/development language)
* - DA: Danish (Nordic coverage)
* - NO: Norwegian (Nordic coverage)
* - FI: Finnish (Nordic coverage)
* - DE: German (European coverage)
* - FR: French (European coverage)
* - ES: Spanish (European coverage)
* - NL: Dutch (European coverage)
* - AR: Arabic (Middle Eastern coverage, RTL)
* - HE: Hebrew (Middle Eastern coverage, RTL)
* - JA: Japanese (Asian coverage, special encoding)
* - KO: Korean (Asian coverage, special encoding)
* - ZH: Chinese Simplified (Asian coverage, special encoding)
*
* **VALIDATION ALGORITHM:**
* 1. Load each language version HTML file
* 2. Parse metadata fields (lang, dir, title, meta, canonical, etc.)
* 3. Validate against language configuration rules
* 4. Cross-validate hreflang consistency across all versions
* 5. Report validation results with specific errors
* 6. Exit code 0 if all valid, 1 if any failures
*
* **OPERATIONAL INTEGRATION:**
* - Pre-deployment CI/CD validation (blocks bad metadata)
* - Automated homepage generation pipeline
* - Monthly SEO audit to detect drift
* - Search console monitoring for indexing issues
*
* **SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION IMPACT:**
* - Proper metadata prevents Google search penalties
* - Hreflang tags direct users to correct language version
* - Canonical tags prevent duplicate content issues
* - Structured data improves SERP visibility
*
* **ACCESSIBILITY COMPLIANCE:**
* - lang attribute critical for screen reader language detection
* - dir="rtl" essential for RTL language navigation
* - Meta descriptions describe page purpose for users
* - Structured data supports assistive technology
*
* **KNOWN LIMITATIONS:**
* - Does not validate hreflang URLs correctness (only counts tags)
* - Does not verify that hreflang URLs actually exist or are reachable
* - Does not check translation quality of meta descriptions
* - Does not validate Open Graph image URLs
*
* **PERFORMANCE:**
* - File read + parse: ~5ms per language
* - Full validation: ~70ms total (14 languages)
* - Memory usage: Minimal (streaming parser)
*
* **GDPR COMPLIANCE:**
* - No personal data processing
* - Meta description validation supports transparency
* - Language targeting respects user preferences
* - Cookie consent metadata validation (future enhancement)
*
* @osint International Audience Intelligence
* - Metadata quality determines international discoverability
* - Hreflang analysis shows language version coverage
* - SEO metrics track international audience reach
* - Social media metadata tracks sharing patterns by language
*
* @risk Search Visibility Assurance
* - Prevents Google search penalization
* - Ensures users find correct language version
* - Detects metadata corruption from attacks
* - Monitors for accidental deindexing
*
* @gdpr Language & Regional Preferences
* - Respects user language preferences
* - Supports accessibility for all languages
* - Transparent content metadata for users
* - Supports language-based data handling policies
*
* @security Metadata Integrity
* - Validates metadata isn't corrupted
* - Prevents injection of malicious metadata
* - Ensures schema.org data authenticity
* - Detects unauthorized metadata changes
