Conflicts resolved per file (both sides kept unless noted):
crates/engine/src/atomic.rs | 1 | main's: `write_file` removed (main routes command writes through `crate::io::write_file`); its one caller in file.rs now uses `crate::io::write_file`
crates/engine/src/cmd/datamerge/fill.rs | 1 | next's `Graphic` literal (has `clip` and `wrap`, which next's `Graphic` carries)
crates/engine/src/cmd/datamerge/mod.rs | 1 | main's `read_path_capped` (crate::io metadata/read_capped, roots checked); next's capped read is the same behaviour
crates/engine/src/cmd/datamerge/parse.rs | 1 | main's (`crate::io::metadata`, `crate::io::Metadata`)
crates/engine/src/cmd/edit.rs | 1 | next's `spread_param(p, "edit.paste")` (the second argument is the command id on both sides)
crates/engine/src/cmd/export.rs | 3 | main's: EPUB params doc, `toc_title` once (main's position; next's duplicate dropped)
crates/engine/src/cmd/file.rs | 7 | place doc: next's (lists page/rect/autoflow params #803 checks); next's recent-file functions + main's `foreign_document`; next's open (load_bytes, warnings, non-DesignCraft refusal) with main's checked `crate::io::read_file` for the bytes; main's `check_write` be
crates/engine/src/cmd/find.rs | 7 | main's Find scope (FindContext, scope/selection/story, continuation, UTF-8 repair) on next's `designcraft_compose::grep::Grep` (dialect GREP): find uses `find_all` capped at MAX_MATCHES, change uses `replacements`/`find_all` (literal change text not expanded), fin
crates/engine/src/cmd/fonts.rs | 1 | next's (`has_style`, resolved/replacement face); `has_style` already compares styles ignoring spacing and case, which is main's `same_style` fix; main's test kept
crates/engine/src/cmd/interchange.rs | 1 | next's `import_idml_report_with_previews` (previews for unreadable links)
crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs | 8 | pages.insert: main's overflow-safe `after` + next's checked `parent_ref`; main's duplicateSpread doc; layout.section: next's `SectionEdit` (already keeps unnamed settings, #717) with main's `d.repaginate()` moved into `SectionEdit::apply` (remove and set paths),
crates/engine/src/cmd/links.rs | 5 | next's links.list (no doc clone); main's `text_status` via crate::io; `use std::io::Read` dropped (unused after main's read_capped); test literals main's. `link_missing` (next) uses `crate::io::exists` for the file-guard scan
crates/engine/src/cmd/object.rs | 4 | object.fill/stroke tint-alone: main's (23e1680e7; out-of-range tint is an error, which main's test asserts); object.fit doc: next's (lists `axis`)
crates/engine/src/cmd/paths.rs | 1 | next's (shatai transform on outlines)
crates/engine/src/cmd/place_text.rs | 1 | next's `add_flow_frame` (used by autoflow)
crates/engine/src/cmd/preflight.rs | 2 | next's overset/unplacedStory issue (its `overset_location` already applies the parent transform main's #738 fix adds); next's two test modules kept with main's
crates/engine/src/cmd/scripts.rs | 1 | combined: next's `in_undo_step = false` (#406) + main's full rollback of a failed script (#709)
crates/engine/src/cmd/style.rs | 14 | param docs next's (gradient swatch.create, swatch stops, model colours); create_para next's; rename_style main's structure (rename entry, then `redirect_style_refs`), redirect has next's full reference set (cells, defaults, notes, TOC) + main's never-based-on-it
crates/engine/src/cmd/text.rs | 10 | main's selectSentence/Paragraph/Story + select_around; next's selectionAttrs (mixed) + main's openTypeFeatures/type.feature; main's comments; tracked typing: next's `reserve_command_text` + main's `insert_format_at`; empty-paragraph mark formatting main's (with `

crates/engine/src/dtd.rs | 1 | next's linear, depth-bounded `expand_parameter_entities` with main's budget (input + 1 MiB, `MAX_EXPANDED_BYTES`) and message ("expand the DTD beyond"); 16 MiB constant removed; both sides' tests pass on message
crates/engine/src/guard.rs | 2 | main's whole-transaction snapshot (docs, active, journal; #742) + next's `in_undo_step` restore; tests both
crates/engine/src/lib.rs | 5 | LoadedGraphic doc next's; next's `new_document_preview`; execute: main's `discard_stale_find_scope()` before next's nested-undo run; modules both (tests_autosize, tests_file_guard, tests_params, tests_roots)
crates/engine/src/recovery.rs | 1 | next's test (superset of main's assertion)
crates/engine/src/tests.rs | 4 | moved tests deduplicated (identical on both sides); next's preflight and direct-selection/kerning tests + main's style-delete, locked-frame and baseline-fit tests
crates/engine/src/tests_idml.rs | 3 | main's order (drop cap and margins tests identical on both sides, once each)
crates/ui-egui/src/canvas.rs | 3 | next's screen_options/DisplayKey block and tests kept; two tests that auto-merge had added twice (parent_guides_on_a_page_are_not_picked_there, baseline_grid_lines_are_the_ones_on_the_page) kept once; main's `typing`/`screen_at`/`click` helpers and its tests clicks
crates/ui-egui/src/control.rs | 3 | main's `count` check and pending budget (control queue + synthetic queue); exact-budget test runs both sides' cases (click 255 on 9,492 pending; drag 9492×255)
crates/ui-egui/src/cursors.rs | 1 | main's (same Pen cursor set)
crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs | 14 | dialog body (newDocument … alert match) is next's text, with main's Find/Change scope reset (`set_field`, `reset_find_scope`, `find_change_params`) and main's Create Guides / Margins and Columns arms ported in; `Dialog::new` ruby section (next) + main's `set_fi
crates/ui-egui/src/i18n.rs | 7 | ka and pl modules, languages, statics and lookups both; `category_first` covers uk, ru, pl, ka and `count_label` keeps next's Czech plurals; shared TABLE union; next's duplicate rows for Auto, Number:, Gutter:, Top:, Bottom:, Inside:, Outside:, Left:, Right: dropped

Localization parity
Last reviewed: 2026-10-11 · Last updated: 2026-10-14 · Change: minor (Polish and Georgian interfaces; catalog counts remain the 2026-10-10 measurement) · 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.rs (a shared table with German, French,
Spanish, Japanese and Simplified Chinese columns) and crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/{ar,cs,it,ja,ka,pt_br,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).
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.

DesignCraft ships 5 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, Spanish, Portuguese and Norwegian and spell-checks English only. Text language can be set per paragraph and character (Properties, Character panel) and drives quotes and locale shaping. See typography-parity.md.
