* chore(lints): satisfy nonminimal_bool on Rust 1.96 Clippy Four boolean expressions rewritten into their equivalent minimal forms (De Morgan / is_none_or) so `cargo xtask ci` passes `clippy -D warnings` on current stable. No behaviour change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * i18n(tr): Turkish interface (Türkçe) - crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/tr.tsv: complete catalog, all 1,307 keys of es.tsv, written clean-room from the plain meaning of the English labels; placeholders, escapes and "…" kept. A noun after a number stays singular in Turkish, so the context-free format needs no plural forms. - Registry entry `tr` / "Türkçe": tr-TR, tr-CY and tr_*.UTF-8 locales resolve by the generic prefix match; saved preference and English fallback use the existing machinery. - Command search folds case the Turkish way (İ→i, I→ı) for translated labels and locations, while English labels and ASCII command ids keep their existing Unicode case-insensitive matching ("italik" finds "İtalik", "INSERT.TABLE" still finds insert.table). - The Font dialog's preview sample is "AaBbYyZz ĞğİıŞş": it has no lowercase i, so the All Caps preview (to_uppercase) gets the Turkish capitals right. - Tests: catalog key and placeholder parity, locale resolution, saved preference, Turkish folding, the sample's capitals, a real egui command-dialog regression, and ÇçĞğİıÖöŞşÜü in the bundled UI fonts. - Docs: README, ROADMAP, localization-parity, control-protocol, new localization-tr.md (terminology, scope); ATTRIBUTION row for tr.tsv. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(paste): an absolute picture path that is absolute on Windows too `/tmp/b.JPG` has no drive, so `Path::is_absolute` is false on Windows and `paste_inserts_clipboard_pixels` failed there; the test uses `C:\tmp\b.JPG` on Windows. Test-only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Brandon Thomas <echelon@gmail.com>

# Localization parity with Microsoft Word
|
||
|
||
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-10 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-11 · **Change:** minor (Turkish interface added; previously major: first version; catalogs measured from `crates/ui-egui/src/i18n`, Word's languages from its bundle listing) · **Target:** Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365) for Mac 16.113.4
|
||
|
||
Interface languages, script support and proofing per language. How translation works (catalog
|
||
format, adding a language, clean-room rule): `crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/mod.rs`.
|
||
|
||
**Dimension: ~25% (estimated), 80–130 h to full for the twelve key languages** plus ~50 h for the
|
||
other ~18 languages Word ships, plus native-speaker review (human).
|
||
|
||
## What Word ships (measured by listing the bundle)
|
||
|
||
- **30 interface languages** (31 `.lproj` folders incl. Base): ar, cs, da, de, el, en, en-GB, es,
|
||
es-MX, fi, fr, fr-CA, he, hu, id, it, ja, ko, nl, no, pl, pt (BR), pt-PT, ru, sk, sv, th, tr,
|
||
zh-CN, zh-TW. Arabic and Hebrew get a mirrored interface. No Hindi or Vietnamese interface on Mac.
|
||
- **120 proofing tools** (`SharedSupport/Proofing Tools`): spellers for ~50 languages, grammar
|
||
checkers for ~20, hyphenators for ~16, thesauri for ~20.
|
||
|
||
## What WordCraft ships (measured)
|
||
|
||
- **11 interface languages**: English plus `zh-hans`, `zh-hant`, `ja`, `uk`, `es`, `pt-br`,
|
||
Serbian `sr`/`sr-latn` (#250), Estonian `et` and Turkish `tr`. Catalogs have 1,305–1,307 entries
|
||
each. A test (`every_tab_and_command_is_translated`) enforces that every ribbon tab, command
|
||
label and ribbon location is translated in every language.
|
||
- Of the 675 English strings a scan extracts from `tl!(…)` calls and command labels/locations, each
|
||
catalog covers **661 (98%)**. Some newer dialog and pane strings (Equation tab tooltips, Zotero,
|
||
Read Aloud, Backstage greetings) aren't wrapped in `tl!` yet, so they show in English in every
|
||
language: the true share of visible strings is **~93–95%** (estimated).
|
||
- Pending PRs: German (#203), Norwegian Bokmål (#208) and Nynorsk (#210), Hebrew with RTL (#20).
|
||
- **Proofing: English only** (one dictionary, rule-based grammar, English hyphenation patterns).
|
||
- Document scripts: shaping via HarfRust (HarfBuzz port) for every script; bidi (UAX #9) and Arabic
|
||
shaping tested (#207); IME on all desktop platforms (winit fixes pending, #155–#164).
|
||
|
||
## The twelve key languages
|
||
|
||
Status: `full` = every user-visible string translated and the script renders and edits correctly;
|
||
`partial`; `menus only`; `none`. Hours are to `full`, Opus 5.5 agent wall-clock, excluding the
|
||
shared items below.
|
||
|
||
| Language | Code | UI strings translated | Dialogs / tooltips / help | Script support | Native review | Status | Hours to full |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| English | en | source (100%) | ✅ | Latin ✅ | yes | **full** | 0 |
|
||
| Simplified Chinese (Mandarin) | zh-hans | 929 entries; 98% of extracted, ~95% of visible | most; newer panes English | CJK ✅, IME ✅; Windows UI font fixed (#248); no vertical text | no | partial | 3–5 |
|
||
| Spanish | es | ~930; 98% / ~95% | most | Latin ✅ | no | partial | 1–2 |
|
||
| Hindi | hi | 0 | ❌ | Devanagari shaping via HarfRust, untested; no hyphenation | no | none | 4–6 |
|
||
| Arabic | ar | 0 | ❌ | shaping, joining, lam-alef, bidi ✅ (#207); no kashida; **no mirrored UI** | no | none | 6–8 |
|
||
| French | fr | 0 | ❌ | Latin ✅ | no | none | 3–4 |
|
||
| Portuguese | pt-br (pt-PT none) | ~930; 98% / ~95% (pt-BR) | most | Latin ✅ | no | partial | 2–4 (pt-BR finish + pt-PT) |
|
||
| Indonesian | id | 0 | ❌ | Latin ✅ | no | none | 3–4 |
|
||
| Japanese | ja | ~930; 98% / ~95% | most | CJK ✅, IME ✅; no vertical text, ruby or document grid | no | partial | 3–5 |
|
||
| German | de | 0 (PR #203 open) | ❌ | Latin ✅ | no | none | 1–2 |
|
||
| Korean | ko | 0 | ❌ | Hangul ✅; macOS Korean IME fixes pending (#163, #164) | no | none | 3–5 |
|
||
| Vietnamese | vi | 0 | ❌ | Latin with stacked diacritics, untested | no | none | 3–4 |
|
||
|
||
Other shipped languages: **6** — Traditional Chinese (`zh-hant`), Ukrainian (`uk`), Serbian
|
||
Cyrillic and Latin (`sr`, `sr-latn`, #250), Estonian (`et`) and Turkish (`tr`), all partial.
|
||
Estonian uses the existing fonts, follows `et-EE` system locales, and is available in Options or
|
||
through `ui.language` with `{"value":"et"}`. Its 1,307 entries cover the existing interface catalog.
|
||
Estonian spelling, grammar, dates and document templates are not added by the interface catalog.
|
||
Turkish works the same way (`tr-TR` and `tr-CY` system locales, `{"value":"tr"}`) with all 1,307
|
||
entries. Command search folds the Turkish dotted and dotless I (`italik` finds İtalik, `YAZI TİPİ`
|
||
finds Yazı Tipi) while English labels and ASCII command ids keep their usual matching. Turkish
|
||
proofing is not included; terminology and checks: [`localization-tr.md`](localization-tr.md).
|
||
|
||
## Shared work (not in the per-language hours)
