# Coding Guidelines for Comments
1. **All comments must be written in English (US).**
2. Use clear, concise, and descriptive language for all code comments.
3. When editing or creating code, always review and update comments to ensure they are in English (US).
4. If you encounter comments in another language, translate them to English (US) as part of your code changes.
5. Maintain the original intent and technical accuracy of the comment when translating.
6. Use standard English grammar, spelling, and punctuation in all comments.
7. Prefer single-line comments (`// ...`) for brief explanations and block comments (`/* ... */`) for longer descriptions.
8. For documentation comments (e.g., Rust `///`), ensure clarity and completeness in English (US).
9. If a user requests a different language for comments, confirm before proceeding, but default to English (US).
10. Apply these rules consistently across all files and code contributions.
