Adds the 1,287 rows the other catalogs have and Italian lacked (filter and adjustment parameters and choices, Camera Raw, Lighting Effects, History and Layers labels, metadata, dialogs), fixes mistranslations in existing rows (Facet, Gradient stops, Save As Preset, Canvas, Spot Color) and uses one term per concept (Predefinito, Traccia, clic, scorciatoia, filmato). Factors the Korean generated-label check into missing_generated_filter_labels and runs it for Italian too. Adds docs/localization-it.md and updates localization-parity.

# Localization parity
|
||
|
||
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-10 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-11 · **Change:** minor (Italian dynamic labels; previously minor: Czech review follow-ups) · **Target:** Adobe Photoshop 2026
|
||
|
||
Per-language status of PhotoCraft's UI. How catalogs work and how to add one:
|
||
[`localization.md`](localization.md). Language notes: [Korean](localization-ko.md), [Spanish](localization-es.md),
|
||
[Simplified Chinese](localization-zh-hans.md), [Italian](localization-it.md).
|
||
|
||
**How measured.** `cargo xtask i18n-coverage` (`xtask/src/i18n_coverage.rs`) defines the key
|
||
universe: `tl!("…")` literals and `trn(` plurals in `ui-egui` (tests excluded), menu-catalog
|
||
labels and path segments, `menus.rs` UI commands, and engine `CommandSpec` labels and menu paths:
|
||
**1,608 English keys** on 2026-10-10. Each catalog (`crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/<code>.tsv`) was
|
||
checked against that universe by a source script replicating the xtask (no build). Catalogs hold
|
||
more rows than the universe because they also translate dynamic `tl!(expr)` strings (~159 call
|
||
sites the tool can't enumerate). **Not covered anywhere:** engine error and status messages and
|
||
filter parameter help, which are English in every language; so no language is `full`.
|
||
|
||
**Photoshop 2026** ships UI language packs for cs, da, de, en, es, fi, fr (and fr-CA), hu, it,
|
||
ja, ko, nb, nl, pl, pt-BR, ru, sk, sv, tr, uk, zh-Hans, zh-Hant (24 `.lproj` markers; one pack is
|
||
installed per Creative Cloud install, here `en_US`). It has no Hindi, Arabic, Indonesian or
|
||
Vietnamese UI; Arabic and Hebrew users get English "Middle East" builds with the World-Ready
|
||
composer, and its text engine handles RTL, Devanagari and Indic scripts.
|
||
|
||
**Summary.** 7 of the 12 key languages at 100% of measured keys (status `partial` because of the
|
||
engine messages), 3 absent (Hindi, Arabic, Vietnamese), plus 8 other languages. Weighted by
|
||
speakers, ~55% ready. Remaining: 80–140 h, plus native-speaker review (none recorded for any
|
||
catalog).
|
||
|
||
## The twelve key languages
|
||
|
||
| Language | Code | UI strings (measured keys) | Catalog rows | Dialogs / tooltips / help | Script support | Native review | Status | To `full` |
|
||
|---|---|---|---:|---|---|---|---|---:|
|
||
| English | `en` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | source | all | Latin | – | full | 0 h |
|
||
| Simplified Chinese | `zh-hans` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,366 | dialogs, tooltips yes; engine messages English | CJK fonts (lazy loader), IME preedit/commit, vertical type | no | partial | 8–12 h |
|
||
| Spanish | `es` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,413 | as above | Latin | no | partial | 6–10 h |
|
||
| Hindi | `hi` | 0 (0%) | – | – | Devanagari shaping in the text engine (parley/HarfRust); no Devanagari fallback font (TYPE-218-3) | no | none | 20–30 h |
|
||
| Arabic | `ar` | 0 (0%) | – | – | Arabic shaping and bidi in the text engine, Arabic fallback font; RTL shell layout but not inside panels, and UI labels in LTR word order (DIST-220-4), paragraph direction has no UI (TYPE-218-2), layer names as tofu (#1408, #1693) | no | none | 40–60 h |
|
||
| French | `fr` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,766 | as above | Latin | no | partial | 6–10 h |
|
||
| Portuguese (Brazil) | `pt-br` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,788 | as above | Latin; every `pt` locale uses it | no | partial | 6–10 h |
|
||
| Indonesian | `id` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,764 | as above | Latin | no | partial | 6–10 h |
|
||
| Japanese | `ja` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 3,356 | as above | CJK fonts, IME (Windows IME broken, #590), vertical type (tategaki); installed Japanese fonts missing from the list (#2330) | no | partial | 10–16 h |
|
||
| German | `de` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,400 | as above | Latin | no | partial | 6–10 h |
|
||
| Korean | `ko` | 1,608 / 1,608 (100%) | 2,936 | as above; terminology from Photoshop's Korean UI ([notes](localization-ko.md)) | Hangul fonts, IME | no | partial | 6–10 h |
|
||
| Vietnamese | `vi` | 0 (0%) | – | – | Latin with stacked diacritics (shaping supported) | no | none | 12–18 h |
|
||
|
||
## Other shipped languages
|
||
|
||
8 more, each at 1,608 / 1,608 measured keys, status `partial` for the same reason: Traditional
|
||
Chinese `zh-hant` (2,329 rows), Russian `ru` (2,544), Ukrainian `uk` (3,375), Czech `cs` (3,522),
|
||
Polish `pl` (3,366), Greek `el` (3,481), Dutch `nl` (3,568), Italian `it` (3,928; also every dynamic label the
|
||
other catalogs translate, [notes](localization-it.md)).
|
||
|
||
Czech UI follow-up (2026-10-11): status and notice wrappers, hardware labels, brush and
|
||
transform accessibility names, rasterization prompts, profile mismatch messages and preset
|
||
counts now translate at their render/assignment sites. Navigator's zoom level uses a context
|
||
(`Zvětšení`), while the tool remains `Lupa`. Engine errors, profile/file/document names stay
|
||
verbatim; copied System Info and control API diagnostics remain English while their on-screen
|
||
labels translate. Import warning counts use parentheses in Czech. New dynamic templates fall
|
||
back to English in catalogs without entries. This is additional UI coverage, not a claim that
|
||
engine localization or native review is complete.
|
||
|
||
## Cross-language gaps
|
||
|
||
- Engine error, status and parameter-help messages are English in every language.
|
||
- Right-to-left UI layout is partial (2026-10-10): the shell mirrors for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian,
|
||
Urdu and other right-to-left codes (`direction.rs`), but panel interiors, dialogs, menu rows,
|
||
submenus and document tabs stay left to right. UI labels also lack an Arabic fallback font, and
|
||
egui 0.36 joins letters within a word but orders a line's words left to right (no bidi).
|
||
- Web build: no browser-locale detection, no CJK web fonts.
|
||
- WebAssembly plug-ins disappear from Filter › Plug-ins when the UI isn't English (#2540).
|
||
- A user couldn't find the language option (#2532): it is in Preferences › Interface.
