## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. Verify Installation

Check that 'legal' is in `BMC/settings.py`:
```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'legal',
    ...
]
```

Check that legal URLs are in `BMC/urls.py`:
```python
path('legal/', include('legal.urls')),
```

### 2. Access the Pages

**Development**:
```
http://localhost:8000/legal/privacy/
http://localhost:8000/legal/terms/
```

**Production** (with i18n):
```
https://bmcgroup.com.vn/en/legal/privacy/
https://bmcgroup.com.vn/vi/legal/privacy/
https://bmcgroup.com.vn/en/legal/terms/
https://bmcgroup.com.vn/vi/legal/terms/
```

### 3. Update Placeholders

Edit templates and replace these values:
- `[CONTACT_EMAIL]` → `your-email@bmcgroup.com.vn`
- `[COMPANY_MAILING_ADDRESS]` → Your company address
- `[GOVERNING_LAW_JURISDICTION]` → Vietnam (or your jurisdiction)
- `[JURISDICTION_COURTS]` → Applicable courts

Find all placeholders:
```bash
cd legal && grep -r "PLACEHOLDER" templates/
```

### 4. Test

Run automated tests:
```bash
python manage.py test legal
```

Access pages in browser and verify:

## ⚡ Performance

### Caching Strategy

Pages are cached for **24 hours** (configurable):

```
User 1 visits /legal/privacy/
  ↓ Page generated, cached for 24 hours
  
User 2 visits /legal/privacy/
  ↓ Page served from cache (instant)
  
After 24 hours:
  ↓ Cache expires, page regenerated
```

### Performance Metrics

**First request**: ~100-200ms (depends on server)
**Cached requests**: <10ms

**No database queries** (unlike other pages)

## 🌍 Internationalization

### Current Support
- English (built-in)

### Adding Vietnamese Support

1. Create `/legal/templates/legal/privacy_vi.html`
2. Translate content to Vietnamese
3. Update view to detect language:
```python
language = get_language()
if language == 'vi':
    template_name = 'legal/privacy_vi.html'
```

Or use Django's translation framework:
```python
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Pages Show Yellow "[PLACEHOLDER]" Boxes
**Cause**: Template placeholders not yet replaced
**Fix**: Edit templates and replace all placeholders with actual values

### Getting 404 Error
**Cause**: App not installed or URLs not included
**Fix**: 
1. Verify `'legal'` in `INSTALLED_APPS`
2. Verify `path('legal/', ...)` in `BMC/urls.py`
3. Restart Django development server

### Pages Load Slowly
**Cause**: Cache not working or database issues
**Fix**:
1. Verify caching middleware is enabled
2. Check Django cache backend configuration
3. For development, disable cache

### Styles Look Wrong
**Cause**: CSS overridden or browser cache issue
**Fix**:
1. Clear browser cache: Ctrl+Shift+Delete
2. Check no global CSS is overriding styles
3. Verify color hex codes are valid
