Learning: In the holidays library, localization files have a specific structure: message comments are in standard English (en_US) describing the holiday, while actual translations (msgstr) should use the locale-specific terminology (e.g., en_CI for Ivory Coast English). For example, "Night of Power" in standard English is translated as "Lailatou-Kadr" in Ivory Coast English.

Learning: In the holidays library, for localization files of the default language (like French for Ivory Coast in fr/LC_MESSAGES/CI.po), the best practice is to leave the message strings (msgstr) empty to avoid possible typos, since the message IDs (msgid) are already in the target language.

Since in the Islamic calendar days begin at sunset rather than midnight, methods like `_add_laylat_al_qadr_day` and `_add_mawlid_day` correctly calculate these dates without requiring an additional day offset in the implementation, following the same pattern as in the Ivory Coast implementation.

Learning: In the Guinea holidays implementation, observed Eid al-Fitr cases are properly covered by the test_eid_al_fitr_day() method, which tests both the regular holiday dates and the observed dates when the holiday falls on a non-working day (for years >= 2023).

Learning: Test files in the holidays repository follow a standardized structure without module or class docstrings. All country test files use the same pattern: license header, imports, and class definition (`class Test{Country}(CommonCountryTests, TestCase):`) without docstrings. This is an established codebase convention that should be maintained for consistency.

Learning: For testing holiday implementations in the vacanza/holidays repository, recommend using `from tests.common import CommonCountryTests` as the base class instead of directly using `unittest.TestCase` to maintain consistency with project conventions and leverage common test utilities.

Learning: In the holidays project, test files follow a dual testing approach: individual methods test specific holidays across multiple years, while comprehensive year-specific tests (e.g., `test_2025`) verify all holidays for a specific year in a single assertion. Both approaches serve different testing purposes and complement each other.

Learning: For Turkmenistan holiday tests, recommend using CommonCountryTests as the base class rather than unittest.TestCase to follow project conventions, be consistent with other country test files, and gain access to common test utilities.

Learning: For Turkmenistan holiday tests, use this class structure: `class TestTurkmenistan(CommonCountryTests, TestCase)` with imports `from unittest import TestCase`, `from holidays.countries import Turkmenistan, TM, TKM`, and `from tests.common import CommonCountryTests`. Ensure to call `super().setUp()` in the setUp method.

Learning: In the holidays project test files, the standard method name for testing the absence of holidays is `test_no_holidays`, not more descriptive names like `test_no_holidays_before_1990`. This is a consistent naming convention across country test files like France and Germany.

Learning: In the vacanza/holidays project, the method assertLocalizedHolidays in country test files should be called with positional parameters rather than named parameters to maintain consistency with the rest of the codebase.

Learning: In the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines holiday tests, for holidays without observed rules that only require a single assertHolidayName call, pass the holiday name directly as a string literal rather than storing it in a variable first for cleaner, more concise code.

Learning: In the vacanza/holidays project tests, inner classes that shadow outer test class names are not standard practice. The test_sint_maarten.py file appears to be the only file using this pattern, making it an outlier rather than following project conventions.

Learning: In Christmas Island's holiday implementation, the test_christmas_day method cannot use assertNoNonObservedHoliday because in some years observed Christmas Day overlaps with Boxing Day when both holidays are moved due to weekend conflicts, causing the standard non-observed holiday check to fail inappropriately.

Learning: In the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines holidays implementation, New Year's Day is added without observed rules using `_add_new_years_day()` and should not include observed rule testing in its test method. Only holidays explicitly wrapped with `_add_observed()` have observed behavior.

Learning: In the vacanza/holidays project tests, when testing holidays that span multiple consecutive days across many years (like Mongolia's National Festival spanning July 11-13), prefer explicit for loops over complex nested generator expressions with unpacking. The explicit loops are more readable, easier to maintain, and better communicate the testing intent even though the Big O complexity is equivalent.

Learning: The holidays project prioritizes complete historical coverage in tests, verifying holidays from their first year of observance (e.g., 1853 for Finland) through future projections, rather than using shorter sliding windows.
