The Appearance panel's inline effect editor still showed eight choice
parameters as text fields holding the stored value: Revolve's edge,
Extrude & Bevel's bevel, every Warp style's orientation, Rasterize's
Color Model, Background and Anti-aliasing, and the channel of Levels
and Curves. Their dialogs built these lists in their own bodies, so
effect::choices did not hold them. Nothing checked a channel's value:
a typo was stored, and Levels or Curves drew it as RGB.
effect::own_choices now holds these lists, each label as its dialog
passes it to its dropdown or radio buttons. The dialogs read the lists
from it (Rasterize's Anti-aliasing from the AntiAlias list it is built
from), and the inline editor shows each one as a dropdown with the
dialog's translated labels; Rasterize's Color Model reads CMYK or RGB
by the document's mode. effect.apply and effect.setParams refuse a
Levels or Curves channel other than rgb, red, green or blue (r, g, b
and any letter case are read too) with "`channel` must be one of rgb,
red, green, blue", and the document and its undo history stay as they
were.

The Effect menu had no Rasterize. Object › Rasterize replaces the
object with an image, so its paths can no longer be edited.
Effect › Rasterize… (`rasterize`) is a live effect with Object ›
Rasterize's options: color model, resolution (the document's raster
effects resolution by default), white or transparent background,
anti-aliasing, Create Clipping Mask and Add Around Object. The canvas
draws the object as square pixels over its bounds, and its paths, type
and other art stay as they are. The effects above it in the stack,
shadows included, are part of its image, and shadows below it are cast
by the image. When Rasterize is an object's only raster effect, Expand
Appearance and PDF and SVG export give the image Object › Rasterize
gives with the same options.
Object › Rasterize now measures the art as drawn, with its geometry
effects, brush art and raster effects, so a Transform effect that moves
the art no longer leaves the image empty. Its Create Clipping Mask
clips the image to the art as drawn. The canvas no longer panics
drawing a pixel effect such as Gaussian Blur on an object about 65,500
screen pixels wide: the raster of such an object is at most 32,768
pixels a side, and the object is drawn into it at a lower resolution.

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.

document.rasterEffectsSettings now also takes and reports colorModel,
background, antiAlias, clippingMask, addAround and preserveSpotColors in one
undo step (Document.raster_effects, RasterEffectsSettings, next to the
existing raster_effects_ppi so old files load unchanged). The raster effect
images of PDF export and Expand Appearance get the extra room and are
finished by the settings (hard edges, grayscale or bitmap, opaque on
white, white only under the art with a clipping mask). Rasterize takes
them as defaults (params override), and its clipping mask puts the image
in a clip group with the art's outline. The settings have their own dialog
(rasterEffectsSettings, ui.rasterEffectsSettingsDialog) and Rasterize…
opens its options prefilled from them.
