* Italian: native-speaker review of the UI catalog Fix mistranslations: Trap (Trapping, was overprint), HDR Toning (Mappatura tonale, was chemical toning), Display Text (Mostra testo), Vine Color, Override Action "Save" Commands. Improve phrasing: Bevel & Emboss, East Asian / Middle Eastern Features, linked smart objects, Conditional Mode Change (metodo, as in Image > Mode), bit depth labels. Record the review and new glossary terms in the localization docs. Credit lucAmbr0 in people.toml. * Tests: allow Italian's compact 8/16 bit labels, which match the source Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Brandon Thomas <echelon@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Localization parity
|
||
|
||
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-10 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-12 · **Change:** minor (Italian native review; previously minor: Turkish catalog) · **Target:** Adobe Photoshop 2026
|
||
|
||
Per-language status of PhotoCraft's UI. How catalogs work and how to add one:
|
||
[`localization.md`](localization.md). Language notes: [Korean](localization-ko.md), [Spanish](localization-es.md),
|
||
[Simplified Chinese](localization-zh-hans.md), [Italian](localization-it.md).
|
||
|
||
**How measured.** `cargo xtask i18n-coverage` (`xtask/src/i18n_coverage.rs`) defines the key
|
||
universe: `tl!("…")` literals and `trn(` plurals in `ui-egui` (tests excluded), menu-catalog
|
||
labels and path segments, `menus.rs` UI commands, and engine `CommandSpec` labels and menu paths:
|
||
**1,608 English keys** on 2026-10-10. Each catalog (`crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/<code>.tsv`) was
|
||
checked against that universe by a source script replicating the xtask (no build). Catalogs hold
|
||
more rows than the universe because they also translate dynamic `tl!(expr)` strings (~159 call
|
||
sites the tool can't enumerate). **Not covered anywhere:** engine error and status messages and
|
||
filter parameter help, which are English in every language; so no language is `full`.
|
||
|
||
**Photoshop 2026** ships UI language packs for cs, da, de, en, es, fi, fr (and fr-CA), hu, it,
|
||
ja, ko, nb, nl, pl, pt-BR, ru, sk, sv, tr, uk, zh-Hans, zh-Hant (24 `.lproj` markers; one pack is
|
||
installed per Creative Cloud install, here `en_US`). It has no Hindi, Arabic, Indonesian or
|
||
Vietnamese UI; Arabic and Hebrew users get English "Middle East" builds with the World-Ready
|
||
composer, and its text engine handles RTL, Devanagari and Indic scripts.
|
||
|
||
**Summary.** 7 of the 12 key languages at 100% of measured keys (status `partial` because of the
|
||
engine messages), 3 absent (Hindi, Arabic, Vietnamese), plus 8 other languages. Weighted by
|
||
speakers, ~55% ready. Remaining: 80–140 h, plus native-speaker review (recorded only for Italian,
|
||
2026-10-12).
|
||
|
||
## The twelve key languages
|
||
|
||
| Language | Code | UI strings (measured keys) | Catalog rows | Dialogs / tooltips / help | Script support | Native review | Status | To `full` |
|
||
|---|---|---|---:|---|---|---|---|---:|
|
||
| English | `en` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | source | all | Latin | – | full | 0 h |
|
||
| Simplified Chinese | `zh-hans` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,366 | dialogs, tooltips yes; engine messages English | CJK fonts (lazy loader), IME preedit/commit, vertical type | no | partial | 8–12 h |
|
||
| Spanish | `es` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,413 | as above | Latin | no | partial | 6–10 h |
|
||
| Hindi | `hi` | 0 (0%) | – | – | Devanagari shaping in the text engine (parley/HarfRust); no Devanagari fallback font (TYPE-218-3) | no | none | 20–30 h |
|
||
| Arabic | `ar` | 0 (0%) | – | – | Arabic shaping and bidi in the text engine, Arabic fallback font; RTL shell layout but not inside panels, and UI labels in LTR word order (DIST-220-4), paragraph direction has no UI (TYPE-218-2), layer names as tofu (#1408, #1693) | no | none | 40–60 h |
|
||
| French | `fr` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,766 | as above | Latin | no | partial | 6–10 h |
|
||
| Portuguese (Brazil) | `pt-br` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,788 | as above | Latin; every `pt` locale uses it | no | partial | 6–10 h |
|
||
| Indonesian | `id` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,764 | as above | Latin | no | partial | 6–10 h |
|
||
| Japanese | `ja` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 3,356 | as above | CJK fonts, IME (Windows IME broken, #590), vertical type (tategaki); installed Japanese fonts missing from the list (#2330) | no | partial | 10–16 h |
|
||
| German | `de` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,400 | as above | Latin | no | partial | 6–10 h |
|
||
| Korean | `ko` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,936 | as above; terminology from Photoshop's Korean UI ([notes](localization-ko.md)) | Hangul fonts, IME | no | partial | 6–10 h |
|
||
| Vietnamese | `vi` | 0 (0%) | – | – | Latin with stacked diacritics (shaping supported) | no | none | 12–18 h |
|
||
|
||
## Other shipped languages
|
||
|
||
8 more, each at 1,608 / 1,608 measured keys, status `partial` for the same reason: Traditional
|
||
Chinese `zh-hant` (2,329 rows), Russian `ru` (2,544), Ukrainian `uk` (3,375), Czech `cs` (3,522),
|
||
Polish `pl` (3,366), Greek `el` (3,481), Dutch `nl` (3,568), Italian `it` (3,928; also every dynamic label the
|
||
other catalogs translate; reviewed by a native speaker, [notes](localization-it.md)). Turkish `tr`
|
||
(3,731 rows) also covers every measured key.
|
||
|
||
Czech UI follow-up (2026-10-11): status and notice wrappers, hardware labels, brush and
|
||
transform accessibility names, rasterization prompts, profile mismatch messages and preset
|
||
counts now translate at their render/assignment sites. Navigator's zoom level uses a context
|
||
(`Zvětšení`), while the tool remains `Lupa`. Engine errors, profile/file/document names stay
|
||
verbatim; copied System Info and control API diagnostics remain English while their on-screen
|
||
labels translate. Import warning counts use parentheses in Czech. New dynamic templates fall
|
||
back to English in catalogs without entries. This is additional UI coverage, not a claim that
|
||
engine localization or native review is complete.
|
||
|
||
## Cross-language gaps
|
||
|
||
- Engine error, status and parameter-help messages are English in every language.
|
||
- Right-to-left UI layout is partial (2026-10-10): the shell mirrors for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian,
|
||
Urdu and other right-to-left codes (`direction.rs`), but panel interiors, dialogs, menu rows,
|
||
submenus and document tabs stay left to right. UI labels also lack an Arabic fallback font, and
|
||
egui 0.36 joins letters within a word but orders a line's words left to right (no bidi).
|
||
- Web build: no browser-locale detection, no CJK web fonts.
|
||
- WebAssembly plug-ins disappear from Filter › Plug-ins when the UI isn't English (#2540).
|
||
- A user couldn't find the language option (#2532): it is in Preferences › Interface.
