WordCraft

A clean-room, Rust-native word processor. These are the words its interface, docs and code use for the same things.

Languages and proofing

Interface language: The language of WordCraft's own menus, buttons and messages. Avoid: Display language, UI locale

Proofing language: The language a piece of text is marked as, which decides how its spelling, grammar and hyphenation are checked. A language is told apart from another by its tag (language, script, region, variant), never by the name a list shows for it. Avoid: Text language, editing language, document language

Language pack: A downloadable bundle of a language's spelling dictionary and hyphenation patterns. Avoid: Dictionary download, language data (that is the embedded data)

Language list: The proofing languages offered in Set Proofing Language, Review › Language and the status bar's menu: the languages WordCraft names, plus those of every installed (and, in Set Proofing Language, every available) Language pack, each once. Avoid: Language menu (that is only one of the places it is shown)

Your languages: The proofing languages Options › Language lists: each English variant in use (the default proofing language and any in the open document), every language with an installed Language pack, and every proofing language used in the open document. Avoid: Authoring languages, preferred languages

Default proofing language: The proofing language new blank documents get, set with Set as default; without one, the interface language. Avoid: Preferred language

Proofing status: Where a language's proofing comes from: built in, an installed Language pack, your own dictionary, a system dictionary, available to install, or not available.

Custom dictionary: The words you added with Add to Dictionary, accepted in every language. Avoid: User dictionary (in the interface)

Dictionaries folder: A folder of Hunspell dictionaries you supply, used before the system's (an installed Language pack comes after it). Avoid: Custom dictionaries

Export

Strict export: An export that writes nothing, and reports why, when the output would leave out a character or a picture the document contains. Avoid: Safe mode, validated export

Missing glyph: A character the output draws that no face in the font fallback chain can draw, so it would appear as an empty box. Avoid: Tofu, box, notdef character

Missing picture: A picture the document refers to that the output cannot include: its part is absent, its data cannot be decoded, its format is unsupported, or it is linked from outside the file. Avoid: Broken image, dropped image
