# Localizable copy

title() and cta() can hold translation keys. By default a value that looks like a key — it contains a . or :: — and exists in your translations is resolved with \_\_() at read time. Anything else passes through verbatim, so plain titles are never mangled:

```php
// lang/en/onboarding.php
return [
    'photo' => [
        'title' => 'Upload a profile photo',
        'cta' => 'Upload now',
    ],
];
```

```php
Step::make('onboarding.photo.title')->cta('onboarding.photo.cta');   // auto-resolved
```

## Forcing the behaviour

```php
Step::make('onboarding.forced')->translatable();       // always resolve
Step::make('keep.this.literal')->translatable(false);  // always raw
Step::make('onboarding.photo.title')->translatable(null); // back to auto-detection
```

## Reading resolved copy

```php
$step->resolvedTitle();   // "Upload a profile photo"
$step->resolvedCta();     // "Upload now"
$step->title;             // "onboarding.photo.title" — the raw key stays on the property
```

toData(), toArray() and onboarding:list all show the resolved copy. The package ships no translations of its own — it only resolves your keys, in the current locale, when the flow is read.
