What and why

85 rows in the Hindi catalog (crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/hi.tsv) translated their English word by an unrelated sense. Desired in the Minimum, Desired and Maximum columns of the Justification and paragraph style dialogs read as देसी (local), and the range sentence and its @msg row dropped or garbled the desired bound. Rulers read as शासक (a sovereign), text characters as चरित्र (a personality), vector points and printer's marks as अंक (a digit), fills as the verb भरता, Saving as बचत (money saved), Even as शाम (evening), Force as सेना (an army), Same as समीर (a personal name), Hide Thumbnails as हिंदुस्तान and High Contrast, High Contrast 2 and High Contrast 3 as उच्च न्यायालय (a high court). Others were Constrain Angle, Complement, Concave, Triad, Kern, Imageable, Function, Mark as trapped, Traps with Process Color, Highlight Alternate Glyphs and Highlight Variable.

This changes the Hindi interface text only; no English string, key or placeholder changed.

  • The rows now use the catalog's own terms from docs/localization-hi.md: वांछित for Desired, रूलर, कैरेक्टर, पॉइंट, मार्क्स, फ़िल्स and सेव, and plain words for the rest. The range rows keep both comparisons: minimum ≤ desired ≤ maximum.
  • Messages that repeat a wrong term were corrected with the label, for example the anchor-point messages no anchor points selected, select paths or anchor points and direct-select anchor points of a path.
  • docs/localization-hi.md gets a paragraph on translating a label by its interface sense and glossary rows for Fills, points and marks, rulers and the Minimum / Desired / Maximum range. docs/localization-parity.md's Hindi row and a new Hindi line in docs/target-app-parity.md note the pass. No score, status line or revision-history row changed.

How it was tested

Changed tests in crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/tests.rs, each failing without the catalog change:

  • hindi_rows_use_the_glossary_term_for_what_their_english_names also rejects each unrelated sense above in every row whose English names the word (for example शासक where the English says ruler, अंक where it says point or mark, देसी where it says desired).
  • hindi_rows_keep_the_meaning_of_their_english pins Desired as वांछित and the full Hindi of the range label and the wordSpacing range message.

With Desired, Ruler Origin and the range sentence put back to their old Hindi, both tests failed: the glossary test reported देसी in "Desired" and शासक in "Ruler Origin", and the meaning test stopped at its Desired assertion (left देसी, right वांछित); with the rows restored, the three Hindi tests passed.

Focused checks on the final tree, on Linux. The branch is one commit on main at 60fd4bd644 and merges cleanly with it. It conflicts with open #7116 in crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/hi.tsv, with open #7134 in docs/localization-parity.md, and with open #6883 in docs/localization-parity.md and docs/target-app-parity.md.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Localization
    • Improved Hindi translations for interface terms, including rulers, points, fills, and constraint labels and messages.
  • Documentation
    • Expanded Hindi localization guidance with context-specific terminology examples and notes on translation coverage.
    • Clarified import documentation on when editable text may retain its appearance rather than remain editable.

85 Hindi rows used an unrelated sense of their English word. Desired
read as देसी (local), and the range message dropped or garbled the
desired bound; rulers read as शासक (sovereigns), text characters as
चरित्र (personality), vector points and printer's marks as अंक
(digits), fills as the verb भरता, High Contrast as उच्च न्यायालय
(high court), Hide Thumbnails as हिंदुस्तान, Same as समीर and Even as
शाम (evening). They now use the catalog's terms: वांछित, रूलर,
कैरेक्टर, पॉइंट, मार्क्स, फ़िल्स and the plain words for the rest.

The Hindi glossary test rejects each of these senses in every row whose
English names the word, and the meaning test pins Desired and both
range messages, minimum <= desired <= maximum.

Walkthrough

The Hindi localization guidance and tests add interface-specific vocabulary checks. Parity documentation records the wording pass and its coverage of short labels and messages.

Changes: Hindi localization terminology

Layer / File(s) Summary
Terminology guidance and parity records
docs/localization-hi.md, docs/localization-parity.md, docs/target-app-parity.md
The Hindi guidance distinguishes interface meanings for terms such as ruler, character, point, fill, and Desired. It describes range messages as preserving minimum ≤ desired ≤ maximum. The parity records describe the wording pass and note that native review remains.
Hindi glossary checks
crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/tests.rs
The glossary tests add context-specific banned terms and check that “Desired” translates as “वांछित” in a label and a constraint message.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: ruchirguitar, bflatastic

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 632e0

This PR corrects Hindi interface wording and adds glossary tests. The one remaining issue is documentation: the localization parity doc's status line and revision history were not updated, so readers cannot see the current assessment date. Merge risk is low.

Explanation

The title names the main change: Hindi interface labels are changed to use the interface sense of their English words. The PR description and objectives confirm that 85 Hindi catalog rows were corrected for unrelated word senses, so the title matches the changeset.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has the 'What and why' section, which explains the 85 Hindi rows with unrelated word senses, the range sentence fix, the anchor-point message fixes, and the doc updates. It has the 'How it was tested' section, which names the two changed tests, the failing-then-passing evidence, the final-tree checks, the branch conflicts, and a CI run link. All four checklist items are ticked. The only gap is that the template's note on the 'How it was tested' section asks for CLI, MCP, or screenshot details. The description gives cargo command results instead, which fits a library-level i18n change. The description is complete enough to pass.

Update the status line and revision history.

This row records the new wording pass, but the status line still says 2026-11-06 and the revision history does not record this change. Update both so readers can identify the current localization assessment.

As per coding guidelines: “Update each touched doc's status line and revision history.”

The status line and revision history of docs/localization-parity.md are left to the maintainers, so this pull request updated only the Hindi row.
