Part of I18N-223

Proposed Changes

  • Fix the loading of theme filters on /themes page to use the correct translations.

After:
Screenshot 2025-05-05 at 5 31 57 PM

Why are these changes being made?

Currently there are several issues with loading the translated filters on /themes page:

  • The filters are calculated once in the constructor of ThemeShowcase, which means that on the initial load the English filters from initialReduxState would always be used.
  • Occasionally QueryThemeFilters is loading the filters before the locale has been set, which means that the filters are loaded using the English locale.
  • Both of these mean that users with a non-English locale would use the theme filters in English on first visit to the /themes logged-in page.

Testing Instructions

To reproduce:

  1. Switch to a popular non-English locale in Calypso (e.g. Spanish or German).
  2. Go to https://wordpress.com/themes/{your site} in a fresh tab/window.
  3. Confirm that the theme filters appear in English.
  4. Navigate to another Calypso page, then back to to /themes and confirm that it's now translated. If it's still not translated, repeat this step.
  5. Test on local Calypso instance or calypso.live and confirm that the issue is fixed. You can also check the network tab for calls to theme-filters to check that it's using the correct locale.
  6. Check the logged-out themes showcase for regression testing.

Here is how your PR affects size of JS and CSS bundles shipped to the user's browser:

Sections (~56 bytes added 📈 [gzipped])

name    parsed_size           gzip_size
themes       +263 B  (+0.0%)      +52 B  (+0.0%)
theme        +127 B  (+0.0%)      +29 B  (+0.0%)

Sections contain code specific for a given set of routes. Is downloaded and parsed only when a particular route is navigated to.
