* M14: Italian catalog: complete the missing entries
it.tsv lacked 265 keys that the other catalogs carry. The 201 the code
looks up are added in one dated section at the end of the catalog: the
sentences the accessibility checker, preflight, signature validation and
page-range parser word (their WORDINGS), the certificate rows and calendar
weekday and month labels (their tl_ctx contexts), digital-ID, docking and
print messages, and five plurals (one|other). Italian now has 2,528
entries.
The new rows follow the wording the catalog already uses: history labels
say "Modifica ..." like "Change {key}", and the Creator and Producer keys
that label fills in say "Applicazione" and "Produttore PDF", as the
Document Properties dialog names those fields. The Optimize PDF summary
says "eliminato" like its Discard options, the checker and preflight
sentences say "ha rilevato" and "Viene usato", the trust messages say
"nel tuo elenco di certificati attendibili", the password and certificate
rows say "non corrispondono" and "rilasciato" like the existing "The
passwords don't match." and "Issued by" rows, and the print hint quotes
the "Disattivato" option as the dialog shows it.
The other 64 are left out because no non-test code looks them up:
- 10 tooltip texts with a fixed macOS shortcut ("Zoom in (⌘+)"); the code
fills the shortcut in through "{key}" rows Italian already has;
- 9 older wordings the code no longer uses: the five Combine folder
messages, "Save (M4)", " on page {label}", the owner-only security
message and the old "Text recognition isn't installed" message (the
code now says "its model files are missing");
- 45 generic labels and plurals only the Lithuanian catalog has. The code
says "{n} file|{n} files" as two plain strings, "1 file" and
"{n} files", which Italian has; "{n} comment|..." and "{n} result|..."
are used nowhere.
The entries are AI-assisted translations written from the meaning of the
English (clean-room; no proprietary localisation consulted), and keep
their placeholders and trailing ellipsis. The catalog's SHA-256 in
ATTRIBUTION.toml is updated by hand, as the other catalog changes do.
localization-parity.md, the ROADMAP progress log, the M14 rows of
docs/roadmap.md and docs/localization.md record the new count, and
parity/acrobat-features.toml now says Italian translates the engine's
sentences too.

Per-language status of PdfCraft's interface against Acrobat Pro's. How translations work and how to add a language: localization.md. Summary in ROADMAP.md.
How this was measured
- Strings translated is measured: the catalogs in
crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/<code>.tsv, counted as distinct(context, English)keys with a non-empty translation. The current denominator is the union of keys across all catalogs (2,590 plain keys as of 2026-10-13, plus language-specific context rows such as Vietnamesetheme/Appearance). The twelve-language percentage table below still quotes the historical 2,143-key snapshot from 2026-10-10 for every language except Vietnamese (re-measured against the current union). English is built in. - Not counted: error details from the engine and the operating system, which are shown in English inside a translated frame; there is no translated user documentation or help yet (Acrobat ships localized help).
- Script support comes from localization.md, the vendored winit IME patches
(
vendor/README.md) and user reports. - Native review: "community" means a native speaker contributed or corrected the catalog in a pull request or issue; "no" means no record of review. No catalog has had a formal review.
- Acrobat ships 24 interface localizations on macOS (
.lproj: cs, da, de, en, es, fi, fr, hu, it, ja, ko, nl, no, pl, pt, ru, sv, tr, uk, zh_CN, zh_TW, plus en_AE, en_IL, fr_MA) and Middle East / North Africa editions (MEA Arabic, MEH Hebrew, NAF French;Resources/Sequences/).
The twelve key languages
| Language | Code | UI strings translated | Dialogs / tooltips / help | Script support | Native review | Status | Acrobat ships it | To full (h) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| English | en |
built in (100%) | all; README and docs | Latin | yes | full | yes | 0 |
| Simplified Chinese | zh-hans |
2,088 (97.4%) | dialogs and tooltips through tl!; no help |
CJK text and IME work, but release builds have no Hans face: many characters show as boxes (#826, #688, #728, #758; Flatpak #689) | no | partial | yes | 6–12 |
| Spanish | es |
2,046 (95.5%) | dialogs and tooltips; no help | Latin | no | partial | yes | 2–4 |
| Hindi | hi |
0 | none | Devanagari not tested (egui shapes Telugu conjuncts, so shaping is likely workable); no Devanagari face in craft-fonts | no | none | no | 10–18 |
| Arabic | ar |
2,143 (100%) | dialogs and tooltips; no help | Letters joined and lines reordered at load, but layout not mirrored, wrapped lines break at the wrong end, typed text runs left to right (localization.md §Arabic) |
no | partial | yes (Middle East edition) | 25–45 |
| French | fr |
2,128 (99.3%) | dialogs and tooltips; no help | Latin | no | partial | yes | 1–2 |
| Portuguese (Brazil) | pt-br |
2,130 (99.4%) | dialogs and tooltips; no help | Latin | community (#288) | partial | yes | 1–2 |
| Indonesian | id |
0 | none | Latin | no | none | no | 3–5 |
| Japanese | ja |
2,123 (99.1%) | dialogs and tooltips; no help | BIZ UDPGothic from craft-fonts; IME patched on macOS, Windows, X11, Wayland; vertical text renders but can't be edited | no | partial | yes | 4–8 |
| German | de |
2,128 (99.3%) | dialogs and tooltips; no help | Latin | community, in progress (#828: terminology, clipping) | partial | yes | 2–4 |
| Korean | ko |
0 | none | Hangul IME patched (Microsoft and Apple Korean, vendor/README.md winit 3, 6, 9, 10); no Hangul UI face in craft-fonts |
no | none | yes | 6–10 |
| Vietnamese | vi |
2,591 (100% of current union + theme Appearance) | dialogs and tooltips; no help | Latin with stacked diacritics; bundled Inter covers them (fonts test) | community | partial | no | 2–4 |
Localization dimension ≈ 68%: the mean over the twelve, counting a catalog's percentage but only
60% for Chinese and Arabic until their script problems are fixed, and 0 for Hindi, Indonesian and
Korean (still missing). Vietnamese moved from 0% to 100% in that mean (59% → 68%). ≈ 55–110 h
to bring all twelve to full, of which ≈ 35–60 h is engineering (Hans face, RTL layout, bidi text)
and the rest catalogs and fixes; native-speaker review needs humans.
No language is full except English: every catalog leaves engine error details in English, and
none has translated help. Vietnamese's To full hours are therefore residual help/docs polish
(catalog and script work are already done), not missing UI strings.

14 other languages ship (22 catalogs plus English = 23 interface languages in Preferences). The entry counts without percentages were measured on 2026-10-12–13; they are not percentages of the older 2,143-key snapshot above. Their presence does not imply a detailed linguistic or runtime review. Acrobat languages PdfCraft lacks: Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Hebrew. Vietnamese is shipped here but not by Acrobat. 14 other languages ship (21 catalogs plus English, 22 interface languages in Preferences). The entry counts without percentages were measured on 2026-10-12 (Italian on 2026-10-14); they are not percentages of the older 2,143-key snapshot above. Their presence does not imply a detailed linguistic or runtime review. Acrobat languages PdfCraft lacks: Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Hebrew.
