Is it expected that the Topic: namespace will be localized into languages other than English?
Yes.
[1] I ask because the Vietnamese translation would be "chủ đề" and the Vietnamese Wikipedia already has a Chủ đề: namespace (corresponding to Portal: at the English Wikipedia).
The localized name for the Topic namespace will have to be different from the localized name for the Portal namespace. So it will be a bit inconsistent with the use of "Chủ đề" for topics in the rest of Flow. However the Topic: name is not highly visible. The actual topic page titles are user-unfriendly UUIDs like Topic:Ry6o4jowf78f34gp, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Ry6o4jowf78f34gp so Flow tries to display whatever users gave as the topic title in the page heading, notifications, recent changes, watchlists, etc. rather than the page title.
Thanks for helping to localize Flow!
