A pass over all 2,565 interface strings and 299 formats messages of the
German catalogs (What's New lines not included). 108 messages change:
- Lightroom terms: Tönung (Tint), Beschneidung (Clipping)
- one word per thing: Bedienfeld (panel; Bereich stays for sidebar
sections), Begleitdatei (sidecar), Dia (slide), Zuschnitt (crop),
Farbmarkierung (label) where "Markierung" read as the pick/reject flag,
Verschlusszeit, Smart-Album, Perspektivkorrektur (Upright),
Aktivitätsstapel
- "Ihre Dateien/Fotos" at the start of a sentence read as the formal
"your" in a du catalog; rephrased
- double colons and "1 Fotos" in count messages, awkward phrasings
- spaced en dash instead of em dash, no space before a final ellipsis,
German quotes around {profile}
The terms are listed in docs/localization-de.md; localization-parity
records the review.

A message a catalog lacks, or translates as an empty string, shows in
English and fails nothing:
- build.rs no longer requires every formats catalog to carry the same
messages, and tr_format! gets a last arm that formats the English
source, so a message no catalog has builds.
- Coverage tests (every language translates X) and tests of one
language's exact wording are gone; the language-switching, layout,
date, placeholder and user-value tests read the catalog's own value
instead of a hard-coded translation.
- i18n::tests::translation_gaps_report lists, per language, the plain
and format messages it lacks and its untranslated What's New lines.
It always passes; cargo xtask ci
runs it from the test step's binary after the tests.
- catalogs_load checks that every catalog file is a JSON object of
strings with each key once; it.json named "Dimensions" twice.
Add German language selection and persisted locale support, complete German
label and format catalogs, and German release notes. Connect previously
untranslated UI text, preserve user names, and size translated buttons to
fit. Format cached import source facts in the active UI language.
Validate locale coverage, placeholder formats, language persistence,
German glyphs, button bounds and cached import language switching. Review
native and headless screenshots; run all seven cargo xtask ci gates.
