LocaleFlow onboarding: 5 prototypes

What's there now

• Two "Welcome to LocaleFlow" sections (one banner, one card) saying nearly the same thing
• No language picked yet, but "Create demo translations" assumes one is set in Settings (hidden hop)
• "Why LocaleFlow" feature grid is generic copy, no merchant data
• "How it works" 4-step block is a description of what they will do later, not progress
• Resource type chips at the bottom are unexplained
• One CTA "Start translating" with no time-to-value promise

What the research says

• Shopify: max 5 steps, dismissible, value-first, request data only when needed (source)
• Interactive flows = +50% activation; users hitting value in 5–15 min retain 3x (source)
• Persona segmentation drove +36% completion at Trello (source)
• Weglot promises a multilingual store in 5 minutes — that is the bar
• 75% churn in week 1 if no engagement; 90% if no engagement in 3 days
