* pt-BR: translate the 634 interface strings added since the catalog was completed Covers the strings the catalog lacked after #495: tool names, menu paths (Edit > Menus), Japanese typesetting dialogs (ruby, kinsoku, mojikumi, warichu, kenten), special characters, Load Styles, Text Frame auto-size, Data Merge, preflight, font replacement and About. Tools are "Ferramenta X", parent pages "página principal", stories "artigo"; menu paths reuse the existing menu names. IT, VA and Y: stay as they are, as in every other language. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * pt-BR: one term per feature, the unit names, a catalog test and the docs Review fixes for the new rows: Gradient Feather, stroke styles and type on a path use the catalog's existing terms; warichu's Line Spacing no longer reads as Leading; em/en dash, hair space, nonbreaking space and hyphen and paragraph return take their Brazilian typographic names; the file and word counts read correctly for one. File > New's unit names, which reach tr at run time, are translated too. The new test checks every pt-BR row's placeholders, padding and ellipsis, and that each menu path is made of the menu names. Docs: pt-BR re-measured at 2,416 of 2,419 strings (61% before) in localization-parity.md, gaps.md (gap 21), target-app-parity.md and the ROADMAP languages table and progress log. Readiness is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Docs: trace each localization count to its commit; list Russian The 1,724 baseline was counted ata127c6d5(#355); recounting that commit by the same rule gives 1,723, with pt-BR at the same 1,057. The 2,419 strings are main at438d7b6d. The 2,021 figure is gone: it was the same rule at the last commit of 2026-10-10, not another scale. Russian (ru, 1,705 of 2,419) joins the other shipped languages, which makes six beyond the twelve; ROADMAP's two "Also shipped" lines become one that includes it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * pt-BR: the 12 strings main added since; docs re-measured at2e36dcf9Merging main brought window and guide commands, the InDesign shortcut-set import and the credits' PRs column, which pt-BR didn't translate yet. Its button label and result message reach tr as literals no other catalog has, so they join the shared test's list of UI strings. Re-measured at main2e36dcf9: pt-BR translates 2,431 of 2,434 strings (the Control panel's IT, VA and Y: stay English) and the unit names; Russian 1,709 of 2,434. The PR adds 645 strings and 7 unit names. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Docs: pt-BR at 2,574 of 2,941 strings by i18n-report; Russian listed Re-measured on mainf3bcc886with `cargo xtask i18n-report`: pt-BR translates 2,574 of 2,941 interface strings (1,933 before); the 367 it lacks are mostly strings main added since 2026-10-23. pt-BR to full is 4-6 h. localization-parity.md, gaps.md (gap 21), target-app-parity.md and the ROADMAP languages table and progress log say so, each with its revision row; the ROADMAP entry is dated today, as the review asked. Russian (1,855 of 2,941) joins the other shipped languages, eight beyond the twelve, and ROADMAP's two "Also shipped" lines become one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * pt-BR: drop two rows main removed; the test lists eight live labels `cargo xtask i18n-report` flagged ten pt-BR rows whose keys its interface list lacks. "/1000 em" and "Import InDesign Set…" are gone from the code, so their rows go. The other eight still reach tr (Auto-Sizing, Color Theme, Minimum Height/Width, No Line Breaks, Reference Point, the shortcut-import result and the unavailable-fonts message) and join the test's list of UI strings. The report now counts 2,939 strings; pt-BR translates 2,572 of them (88%), Russian 1,853. The docs say so; the PR adds 632 strings and the 7 unit names. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * pt-BR: the 364 strings main added since 2026-10-23 Keyboard Shortcuts sets (craft-keymap's dialog, import messages and counts), panel docking, OpenType features, page presets, the Package summary and the command dialog's parameter names. "Atalho", "conjunto" and "escopo" for shortcut, set and scope; tab groups stay "grupo de guias" and inks "de escala"/"especial", as in the catalog. Key names stay as printed on keyboards. `cargo xtask i18n-report` now lists only the Control panel's IT, VA and Y: for pt-BR: 2,936 of 2,939 strings. The docs say so; pt-BR to full is 1-2 h (an in-app check and the older parent-page and story terms). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * pt-BR review fixes: Affix in, Dir, End, Pathfinder and three clashes; doc scales - "Affix in" (where footnote prefix and suffix appear) is "Afixos em". - "Dir" is a folder in file.save, recovery save and links.copyTo and a direction in text.move: "Pasta/direção". - The End key is "Fim", as Home is "Início". - Pathfinder keeps its name ("Objeto/Pathfinder"), as "Pathfinder:" already did, instead of "Localizador de caminhos" beside "demarcador". - Pattern (stroke dashes) is "Padrão de traço", apart from Default ("Padrão"); Skipped is "Pulados", apart from "ignoradas"; Heading is "Intertítulo", apart from Title and Section headings. ROADMAP's "Also shipped" line now uses one scale (today's i18n-report of 2,939 strings); the pt-BR note names mainef6c3686, and Russian reads 1,855 of 2,939.

Localization parity
Last reviewed: 2026-10-11 · Last updated: 2026-11-04 · Change: minor (pt-BR catalog filled; Russian listed; Esperanto text language; Hungarian interface catalog, bundled-font coverage and flyout regression checks; Swedish interface) · Target: Adobe InDesign 2026 (21.6)
Per-language status of the DesignCraft interface and of document typesetting in each script. Script-specific typesetting detail: cjk.md, cjk-typography.md, arabic-typography.md. Overall numbers: target-app-parity.md.
Dimension score: ~45% ready (estimated), 120–180 h plus native-speaker review (human).
How it was measured
Interface strings live in crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/table.rs (a shared table with German, French,
Spanish, Japanese and Simplified Chinese columns) and crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/{ar,cs,de,fr,hu,it,ja,ka,pl,pt_br,ru,sv,uk}.rs.
Untranslated strings fall back to English. A script (2026-10-10) built the set of English
interface strings as the union of every catalog's keys, every engine command label and every
literal passed to tr/t in the UI crate: 1,724 strings. A further ~145 capitalized literals
in the UI crate appear in no catalog (some are test data or proper names), so the true total is
somewhat higher and every percentage below is a slight overestimate. Help: DesignCraft has no
help content in any language (Help ▸ opens the project's pages).
Missing translations normally fall back to English and are reported without blocking a build.
Targeted regression tests can require specific captions, such as the Data Merge arrangement
label, in every registered interface language. cargo xtask i18n-report (also a step of
cargo xtask ci, so the list is in every gate log) prints how many interface strings each
language lacks, then the strings.
InDesign 2026 ships 25 interface localizations (.lproj folders: cs, da, de, el, en, en_GB, es,
fi, fr, hu, it, ja, ko, nb, nl, pl, pt, ro, ru, sq, sv, tr, uk, zh_CN, zh_TW); Arabic and Hebrew
come as Middle East editions with an English or French interface and right-to-left features.

Percentages are of the 1,724 measured strings. A language is full only when every user-visible
string is translated and its script renders and edits correctly; none but English is.
Japanese follow-up (2026-10-11): print ranges, imported style handling, the built-in (import)
caption, table row/column movement and row-height distribution now use the existing translation
catalog. Print, import options and an active table were rendered in Japanese and English with
craft-fonts. The language totals above retain their dated measurement; this is a targeted fix.
Hungarian interface (2026-11-01): hu.rs contains 1,906 entries and four context-specific
captions, including all 37 tool names. The initial catalog was prepared with AI assistance
and personally reviewed in the app by Veress Róbert, a native Hungarian speaker with over
30 years of DTP experience. Further terminology and in-context feedback is welcome. This is a
partial catalog, not a new coverage measurement against current main: uncatalogued strings
fall back to English. Preferences lists Magyar; interface selection does not enable the
separate spelling and hyphenation work in #1484.
The interface uses bundled Source Sans 3 Regular and Source Sans 3 Semibold; monospace
labels use JetBrains Mono Regular (assets/fonts/, registered by theme::font_definitions).
hungarian_catalog_glyphs_exist_in_the_bundled_ui_fonts checks the actual configured font
bytes, every Latin letter used by the catalog and all Hungarian accented vowels in both cases,
including ŐőŰű, with system and optional craft-fonts fallbacks disabled. No new font asset
or font dependency is needed.
Hungarian regressions cover placeholder/context integrity, formal address and count/column terminology, language persistence, matching menu paths, translated tool labels and real right-click flyouts in both Tools-panel layouts. Narrow-window coverage exercises horizontal scrolling, complete label/shortcut accessibility and selecting a scrolled row at 180 and 240 points; the existing wide-window checks keep their assertions.
Brazilian Portuguese (2026-11-04): cargo xtask i18n-report on main ef6c3686 with this catalog
counts 2,939 interface strings; pt-BR translates 2,936 of them (up from 1,933). Like every other
language it leaves the Control panel's IT, VA and Y: captions in English. Tools are named "Ferramenta …", parent pages "página principal", stories "artigo" and
paths "demarcador" ("traçado" is Stroke; Pathfinder keeps its name). The 996 new strings were AI-drafted and approved by
the contributor; they are not yet checked in the running app, and a native-speaker review is
pending. Older rows still use "página-pai" and "página mestra" for parent pages and "Matéria"
for a story.

DesignCraft ships 8 interface languages beyond the twelve; InDesign ships 17 beyond its eight of the twelve (cs, da, el, en_GB, fi, hu, it, nb, nl, pl, ro, ru, sq, sv, tr, uk, zh_TW).
Document languages
InDesign 2026 hyphenates and spell-checks ~40 languages (Hunspell and Duden dictionaries).
DesignCraft hyphenates English, Danish, Dutch, French, German (2006 reform), Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese and Spanish and spell-checks English only. Text language
can be set per paragraph and character (Properties, Character panel) and drives quotes and
locale shaping; Esperanto is offered too (not hyphenated yet, #1201). See
typography-parity.md.
German hyphenation accepts German: 2006 Reform, German: Swiss 2006 Reform and de locale
codes without a spelling year or with 2006. Traditional names, de_DE_1901 and unknown
German variants have no automatic hyphenation; their German shaping and quotes are unchanged.
