Aman-Mittal opened a new issue, #229:
URL: https://github.com/apache/fineract-backoffice-ui/issues/229

   ## What is wrong
   
   Seven destructive actions under **Products** ask for confirmation with 
`window.confirm` and a hardcoded English string:
   
   ```ts
   if (!row.id || !window.confirm('Delete this collateral product?')) return;
   ```
   
   That produces the browser's own grey dialog: unstyled, untranslated, unable 
to signal that the action is destructive, and it freezes the page while it is 
open. Everywhere else the application uses its own `DialogService.confirm`, 
which is themed, translated and marks destructive actions in red. Across the 
app there are 29 of these native calls left; this issue covers the 7 under 
Products.
   
   ## Business value
   
   These are all irreversible deletions — a collateral product, an 
interest-rate chart, a slab, a loan originator, a product mix, a charge, a 
dividend. The native box is the weakest possible confirmation for exactly the 
actions that most deserve a clear one: it looks like a browser warning rather 
than part of the application, gives no visual signal that something is about to 
be destroyed, and shows English to a user who has the interface in Hindi or 
Korean. Someone working in a non-English locale gets an English question about 
deleting a product and has to guess.

   ## How to fix
   
   There is a worked example already in the tree — 
`src/app/features/system/codes/codes-list.component.ts` was converted this way 
and is the pattern to copy.
   
   ```ts
   private readonly dialogService = inject(DialogService);
   private readonly translate = inject(TranslateService);
   
   void this.dialogService
     .confirm({
       title: this.translate.instant('PRODUCTS.DELETE_CHART'),
       message: this.translate.instant('PRODUCTS.CONFIRM_DELETE_CHART', { name: 
row.name }),
       destructive: true,
     })
     .then((confirmed) => {
       if (!confirmed) return;
       // ...the existing delete call, unchanged
     });
   ```
   
   Notes:
   
   - `confirm()` returns a `Promise<boolean>`, so the early-return guard 
becomes a `.then()` block. That is the only structural change.
   - Add the new keys to `src/assets/i18n/en.json`. Only `en.json` is required 
— `npm run i18n:check` fails on keys referenced in code but missing there, and 
does not require `hi.json`/`ko.json`.
   - Write the message in plain language that says what will be lost, rather 
than restating the button. "Delete the chart “Standard”? Any slabs under it go 
with it." is more use than "Are you sure?".
   - Set `destructive: true` on every one of these — they are all deletions.
   
   ## Verifying
   
   ```
   npm run lint
   npm run i18n:check
   npm test
   npm run build
   ```
   
   If the screen has a spec, add a case asserting the delete is not called when 
the dialog resolves `false`. That is the behaviour most likely to be broken by 
the rewrite, since the guard moves from a synchronous `return` into a callback.
   
   ## Picking this up
   
   No need to be assigned — assignment here is limited to committers. Comment 
that you are starting, then open a PR; the comment is enough to stop two people 
duplicating the work.
   
   This issue touches only files under `src/app/features/products/`, so it does 
not overlap with the other `window.confirm` issues and several can be in flight 
at the same time.
