Lists and headings that mix our labels with names no longer send the
names through the catalog, so a preset, printer or plug-in called
"Regular" or "Black" keeps its name in every language.
- dialogs::shown_names / mixed_dropdown: translate only a list's built-in
entries and show the rest with widgets::dropdown_names (same indices).
- Artboard lists (Save for Office, Save for Web, save options) and
plug-in choices: dropdown_names.
- Mixed lists translate only their built-in entries: Recolor's Limit to
Library, Save for Web, Print, Save PDF and Export for Screens presets,
printers (Default Printer, PDF File), colour profiles and flattener
presets (profile_pick, flatten::preset_dropdown), perspective presets,
New Document's preset cards and Size, and the shortcut set.
- Plug-in dialogs and plug-in effects are headed by the plug-in's name as
it is; plug-in parameter labels are not translated.
- The confirm dialog shows its message and detail as given, and the
shared frame no longer translates headings again: each heading is
translated by its spec. File > Revert translates its template before
filling in the document's name.

Strings in code stay English and are the lookup keys; `crates/ui-egui/src/i18n`
maps them to display text at render time from one `*.tsv` catalog per language
(`LANGUAGES` registry, `tl!`/`t`/`tr`/`tr_ctx`/`tr_id`/`tn`/`fmt`). Command ids,
menu paths, `ui.menu.list`, the control channel, the CLI, MCP, status messages
and undo labels never see translated text, so agents, scripts and the existing
tests are unaffected (under `cargo test` the UI is always English).
Wired: in-window menus and the macOS native menu (rebuilt on a language change),
dynamic labels (Undo X, Reset X, Last Effect: X as templates), the command
palette (matches English and translated text), dock tabs, panel tooltips, the
toolbar (category names now cut by characters, not bytes), the dialog frame, the
shared widgets, the Preferences dialog, the shortcut editor, the hint and status
bars, the Home screen, and the literals of every panel and dialog.
Preference `interfaceLanguage` (User Interface › Language): `auto` or a code.
`auto` follows `VECTORCRAFT_LOCALE`, `LC_ALL`/`LC_MESSAGES`/`LANG`/`LANGUAGE`,
the macOS preferred languages and, on Windows (which sets no `LANG`), the user
locale from `HKCU\Control Panel\International`. `zh-TW`/`zh-HK`/`zh-MO`/
`zh-Hant-*` resolve to `zh-hant`; Simplified locales stay English until a
`zh-hans` catalog exists.
`zh-hant.tsv` (~2,850 rows) is clean-room, in the vocabulary used in Taiwan;
terms shared with PhotoCraft reuse its wording, vector terms use everyday
vector-drawing vocabulary. Tests: catalog well-formedness (placeholders,
ellipses, command ids, no Simplified characters), locale resolution, and two
coverage tests that fail when a menu string, panel/tool/preference label,
dialog button, hint-bar fragment or `tl!` literal has no row in a language
marked `complete_menus`. `VECTORCRAFT_I18N_DUMP=file cargo test -p
vectorcraft-ui-egui dump_source_strings` lists the strings for translators.
Also: two clippy findings under rustc 1.97 fixed in passing.
Integrated with main (squashed onto it, 42 commits on): the Czech interface
(#213) moves from its Rust table to `i18n/cs.tsv` on the registry (all 556
rows, Czech plural rule, its menu-coverage and glyph tests kept); Find Font's
resolution notes and the canvas context menu's labels are translated and
covered by the catalog tests (`menus::CONTEXT_LABELS`); the glyph test checks
CJK text only when the craft-fonts build input is embedded (#220 moved the
Japanese fonts out of this repository); a language saved by an older version
carries over to `interfaceLanguage`; Windows' locale lookup runs reg.exe by its
full path.

VectorCraft ▸ Language gains Čeština (`app.language {lang: "cs"}`,
persisted as "cs"). `Language::tr` now picks a table per language.
The Czech table (crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/czech.rs) translates every
menu title, submenu, item and header in the menu tree, plus the labels
toggling items switch to (Show/Hide Guides, Lock/Unlock Grid, Outline/
Preview, Edit Contents/Edit Envelope…). It was written clean-room from the
meaning of the English labels: commands in the infinitive, menus as nouns.
Left as-is on purpose: the product name, language names, OpenType, the
built-in workspace names and the perspective grid preset names.
Tests:
- every Czech (and Japanese) entry is a menu label, toggled labels included;
- Czech covers every menu label except fonts, sizes, plug-in names and
an explicit KEEP_AS_IS list;
- ellipses match their source label, entries are unique;
- the Language menu lists every language; `cs` validates and persists;
- each UI font family's own first font has the Czech letters and
punctuation (no system fonts needed).

VectorCraft had an Additional Plug-ins Folder preference but nothing loaded from it. Port
PhotoCraft's wasmi plug-in host (same sandbox, manifest and parameter schema) as the new
vectorcraft-plugins crate (L2), extended for vector documents:
- Object filters read the selected paths and compound paths as JSON (native PathData and
Paint forms: geometry, fills, strokes, gradients, opacity) and return the objects to keep,
change, add or delete; the output is validated in full and applied as one undo step
(plugin.run). A failing plug-in leaves the document untouched.
- Live-effect plug-ins are geometry effects in the appearance stack (effect id
plugin.<id>), re-evaluated (and cached) when the object or parameters change, editable,
exported and baked by Expand Appearance; a missing plug-in leaves the geometry as is.
- plugin.list / info / run / install / remove / reload; the preference folder installs
every *.wasm at startup and when it changes; File > Open of a .wasm installs it (web).
- Object > Plug-ins and Effect > Plug-ins menus with dialogs generated from the parameter
schema (live preview), the Appearance panel's fx menu, docs/plugins.md, an original
example plug-in (Desaturate, a Rust crate outside the workspace) and fuzzing of the
plug-in boundary (engine/tests/plugin_fuzz.rs).
Tool plug-ins and paint-changing live effects are left for later (docs/plugins.md).
