# Spanish terminology

This note goes with the review of the Spanish catalog
(`crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/es.tsv`). The catalog already covered every measured key; the review
aligned its wording with the terminology a Spanish-speaking Photoshop user already knows, fixed
mistranslations, and made the register consistent. No proprietary translation resources, fonts,
screenshots or user documents are included: the terms are the ones a Spanish Photoshop user sees
in the product and its public help, and each was checked against the meaning of PhotoCraft's own
English label.

## Register and style

- **Formal "usted"**, as in Photoshop's Spanish UI: «Haga clic», «Seleccione», «¿Desea guardar…?».
  The catalog mixed «usted» and «tú»; every user-facing instruction now uses «usted».
- **Sentence case** after the first word, except panel and tool names, which keep their capital
  as in Photoshop: «Panel Carácter», «Herramienta Pluma».
- Quotation marks are «angulares»: «{name}».
- Neutral Spanish, matching Adobe's single Spanish catalog (for example «coma flotante»).

Menu names that are also actions keep Photoshop's distinction: **Vista** (the *View* menu, not
«Ver»), **Volver** (*Revert*), **Borrar** (*Clear*), **Cortar** (*Trim*, unlike *Crop* «Recortar»),
**Descubrir** (*Reveal*), **Purgar** (*Purge*). Product and technology names (Photomerge, Camera
Raw, droplet, OpenType, sRGB, Wayland) are not translated.

## Out of scope

Engine error, status and parameter-help messages are still English in every language (see
[`localization-parity.md`](localization-parity.md)); this review does not change that. The review
was AI-assisted, row by row against Photoshop's Spanish terminology; a review by a native
speaker is still welcome.
