The batch merges grew Japanese 410 → 693, both Chinese catalogs 506 → 695,
Ukrainian 505 → 524, Czech 501 → 518 and Spanish 513 rows (its #996 landed)
without touching the doc's counts or shares; the overall figure was still the
10-October measurement. pt-br was the last count to update, so the row now
mirrors the code at this tree.
278 new rows (417 → 695), the Chinese catalogs' source list, keyed by the English
source string: panels, dialogs, tooltips and the Settings pages stop falling back
to English for every string the zh-hans catalog covers, including the six keys
the batch merges added on top. Terminology follows After Effects' Brazilian
Portuguese conventions; brand names stay English.
AI-assisted translation (OpenCode agents, GLM); not yet native-speaker proofread.
* Translations: delete coverage and wording tests
A missing translation shows in English and never fails a test. Delete the
coverage and per-language parity tests, the tests that pin one language's
wording and the source scans for strings not routed through the catalog.
Keep the stale-row, duplicate-row and placeholder checks, and make the
engine tests that switch language compare against the catalog instead of a
literal. Drop the Traditional Chinese panel rows that only repeated the
English source to satisfy the parity test.
* Translations: missing-strings report in xtask ci
missing_translations_report prints, per language, the fixed menu entries,
panel strings, effect names and effect categories with no row. It always
passes. cargo xtask ci runs it with --nocapture after the test runs, so the
list shows in the gate log. The docs say a missing string shows in English
and where the list is.
Review follow-up to the panel/dialog step: the composition-settings tabs
translate "Basic" and "Advanced" through `tr(variable)` and the Preview
transport translates "Play/Stop", but none of the three had a catalog
row, so they stayed English. Add them to the Japanese, Simplified and
Traditional Chinese catalogs and pin them in
`japanese_rows_translate_the_panels`.
The shared "Type" key means "kind" in the Project column and the Camera
Settings dialog, so the Chinese rows read 类型/類型 instead of 文字
("text").
Keep the graph button bar's automation labels English: translate only
the drawn label and tooltip, and translate the stored English strings
when the hidden-button menu draws them.
Recount the docs from the catalogs: 628 menu rows, 996 Japanese and 998
Chinese panel rows; count Simplified Chinese's 306 effect names in its
numerator (46%) and average the ten After Effects languages the table
actually names (21%, not the stale 27%). Update the measurement basis,
the cross-references in gaps.md and target-app-parity.md, and ROADMAP.
The panel catalog behind the menu bar translated the dialogs and
Preferences, but much of the work area was still English: panel tabs, form
fields, panel context menus, the tracker and graph controls, text-panel
options, the File panel's footers and the credits. Add 300 rows to the
Japanese catalog — and the matching Simplified and Traditional Chinese
sources the tests keep it in step with (the other languages may lag, an
untranslated row falls back to English):
- panel tabs (dock.rs / dock_ui.rs titles), the Project panel's columns,
footer tooltips and column menu;
- form and dialog labels and choice options (the forms the panels open —
import, interpret footage, render queue, trackers, text animators…);
- panel context menus (timeline layer/property menus, graph editor);
- the tracker, graph editor, text-panel, animator and Content-Aware Fill
labels;
- the Preview panel's transport tooltips, credits table headers and sort
options, the composition-settings tabs and the About links;
- the engine's text-animator menu labels, added as a data source like the
settings pages (they are interface text the panels draw).
Strings are wrapped where they are drawn with the existing `tr`/`tr_args`
mechanism (the label helpers already ask the catalog, so the data tables
need no new ids); the catalog tests keep the three complete languages
listing the same sources, reject duplicate or empty rows and keep the
placeholder counts. A new test assertion in
`japanese_rows_translate_the_panels` pins a sample of this step.
The panel catalogs are now 993 Japanese and 995 Chinese rows (the two
Chinese catalogs are the complete source list); with the 628-row menu
catalogs Japanese is 1,621 of ≈ 4,200 interface strings (39%, up from 27%).
Still English: effect parameter names (≈ 1,650 registry names, drawn from
the model, not the catalogs), Home-screen literals, tooltips drawn from
engine data, engine error messages, and the rows other languages lack.
Docs: localization-parity (header, per-language table, overall share,
revision history), ROADMAP (language table, progress log, revision history).
Menus 628 rows (every menu catalog), panels 886 (695 shared with the Chinese
catalogs plus 191 Georgian-only), effect names 307 + 21 categories; gaps.md
and localization-parity.md now agree.

Adds Georgian (ქართული, code ka) to Settings > General > Language, with
Match System for ka / ka-GE / ka_GE.UTF-8 locales:
- i18n.rs: the menu catalog, the same 628 (command, English label) keys as
the other languages, plus the Undo/Redo entries, the workspace and 3D
view shortcut submenus, the Reveal labels on Windows and Linux and the
macOS Services items.
- i18n/ui.rs: GEORGIAN, every row of the Chinese panel catalogs (687), and
GEORGIAN_PANELS, 195 rows for text the panels send through tr() that no
catalog has yet (form dialogs, drop messages, screen-reader names,
context menus, Project and Timeline column headers). The tests hold
them to the same rules (unique, same placeholders, used by a converted
panel) and keep them from shadowing a Chinese row; prefs_live.rs joins
the converted files.
- i18n/effects.rs: Georgian names for all 307 effects and 21 categories;
the CC series and brand names stay in English.
- Properties > Text Animation: the Add Animator and Presets buttons grow
with their translated labels (English keeps 116 / 84 px).

The Japanese data point in #821 (zitann2020) offered to write its rows against whatever mechanism
this PR lands, so both languages share one catalog instead of inventing two. This makes adding a
language a data change and reserves `ja`:
- `Catalog` holds a language's effect rows and its category labels, and `catalog()` resolves a
language code to one; adding a language is two tables and one arm, with no change to the lookups
or to any panel.
- `JAPANESE_EFFECTS` and `JAPANESE_CATEGORIES` are declared, keyed by the same effect ids and by
the registry's English category names, and `ja` resolves to them. Both are empty, so a Japanese
interface draws exactly what it drew before — the slot changes no behaviour on its own.
- `a_pending_language_only_uses_known_ids` guards the pending tables (Japanese and Traditional
Chinese) as rows arrive: an id Simplified Chinese does not know, a different English name for one
of them, an empty translation or a repeated id fails. `languages_without_rows_draw_the_registry_name`
asserts each pending language has an arm in `catalog()` (a table with no arm would leave a
translator's rows dead) and is still row-less, so the day one gets rows the test says where its
coverage moved.
- `only_the_brand_names_stay_in_english` now documents that it pins *Simplified Chinese's* five
brand names and is deliberately not shared: AE's Japanese interface keeps the whole `CC`, `VR`
and `OCIO` sets in English while its Chinese one translates them, so repeating the English name
is a language's choice and not an unfinished row. The row check reflects that (a repeated English
name is accepted, an empty one is not).
docs/localization-parity.md records the two empty tables and that each language decides for itself
which names stay in English.
Refs #821
The interface below the menu bar is localized (618 fixed menu entries, ~490 panel rows) but an
effect's name still rendered in English everywhere it appeared: the generated Effect menu, Effect
Controls, the Timeline and Effects & Presets.
The registry's English name is the effect's identity: `effect.list`, `effect.apply {"effect": …}`,
scripts, expressions and the property tree's group name all match on it. Only the drawing changes.
`crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/effects.rs` keys the names by effect **id** rather than by the English
string — a repeat is stored as `Gaussian Blur 2` (an English key would miss it) and upstream
renames a display name now and then, while the id is stable. It carries 306 rows for Simplified
Chinese, one per effect in the registry, taken from the installed After Effects 2026 (26.5.0.89)
Simplified Chinese interface, with the `CC` series following Adobe's Chinese documentation (which
names 68 of the 69 that its interface leaves in English). `Cryptomatte`, `EXtractoR`, `IDentifier`,
`Key Light` and `Unmult` stay in English as brand names; `Face Measurements` and `Face Track
Points` are EffectCraft's own effects. The 21 category folder names are in the same file, worded
after the effect names (channel → 通道, noise → 杂色, matte → 遮罩 …).
What draws the catalog now:
- **Effect menu:** the entries and the category submenus. The command and its `{"effect": <id>}`
params are untouched, so the menu still applies by id.
- **Effect Controls:** the header, its Rename field, the accessible name and the About popup.
- **Timeline:** effect group rows, and the search (a Chinese interface is searchable in Chinese).
- **Effects & Presets:** the rows, the drag ghost, the folder rows and the search.
Kept as they are: the effect id, the property tree's `PropGroup.name`, every automation id and
label, `effect.list`'s `name`/`category`, and the undo label (`Apply Gaussian Blur`). A name the
user typed in Effect Controls stays verbatim, and a repeated instance keeps the index the engine
appends (`Gaussian Blur 2` → `高斯模糊 2`). No other language has rows yet, Traditional Chinese
included, so those draw the registry's English name.
Tests: nine unit tests under `cargo test -p effectcraft-ui-egui --lib i18n` cover the data (every
effect has a row, the row still carries the registry's English name, ids are unique, only the five
brand names repeat their English name, every category has a row, a row names an effect the registry
knows) and the behaviour (the instance index, user renames, English and untranslated languages,
search) plus a scan pinning the drawing sites. `crates/ui-egui/tests/ui_effect_names.rs` checks the
Effect Controls header, the generated Effect menu and that the ids, automation labels and
`effect.list` stay English.
`docs/localization-parity.md` and `docs/gaps.md` no longer record effect names as deliberately
English; effect *parameter* names are still untranslated and stay the next piece.

Czech for all 618 fixed menu entries and the 496 panel, tooltip and dialog
strings of the most complete catalog; settings accept and persist `cs`, Match
System recognises cs, cs-CZ and cs_CZ.UTF-8; native menu, Undo/Redo and
file-manager labels. Czech may lag the Chinese catalogs like Japanese and
Ukrainian (a missing row falls back to English); menu rows use "..." like
the other catalogs. AI-assisted, independently reviewed, not yet proofread
by a native speaker.

The panel catalog (crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/ui.rs) has grown to 496 rows since
Ukrainian last matched it on 9 October, so `uk` fell back to English for the Home
screen, the viewer's toolbar tooltips and popups, the Appearance settings, the
solid dialog and the project, import, export and colour-management forms.
Add those rows, in the Chinese catalogs' order and under their section comments,
so the catalogs stay parallel. `uk` now carries 495 of the 496 rows: `RGB` reads
the same in Ukrainian, so it keeps no row and falls back to the English source,
which is what the catalog's own rule asks for.
Terminology follows the Ukrainian menu catalog in i18n.rs so the two agree:
Full/Half/Third/Quarter as Повна/Половина/Третина/Чверть, Draft as Чорнова,
Wireframe as Каркас, Custom... as Власна..., Region of Interest as Область
інтересу, footage as матеріал, solid as суцільний колір, Default as Стандартний.
Dark and Light take the neuter form the catalog's existing Darker/Lighter rows
(Темніше/Світліше) already use, so one row reads correctly both as an Appearance
Mode and as a theme card option.
`format_ago` picks between one and many, while Ukrainian declines the noun for 1,
for 2–4 and for 5 and up, so the relative times use the invariant unit
abbreviations (хв, год, дн.), which read correctly for every count. A per-language
plural rule would be the fuller fix and is left for its own change.
ROADMAP.md and docs/localization-parity.md carry the new count.
