What and why

The German catalog had no row for 1,842 of the status and error messages that i18n::tests::untranslated_report finds in the sources. A message without a row is shown in English, so the status bar showed those messages in English in a German interface.

• crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/de.tsv gets one @msg row for each of 1,804 of those messages, under one comment line at the end of the file: the errors of commands and their parameter checks, scripts, file import and export, printing and plug-ins. The catalog now has 3,433 @msg rows and 48 @msgplural rows.
• The 38 rows that open i18n: translate the composite font errors in the complete-message languages #7211, i18n: the "select a path" reason is translated in every complete-message language #7214 and i18n: the justification order error is translated in every complete catalog #7116 add are left out, so the catalogs stay consistent when they merge (bundled_catalogs_are_consistent rejects a second row for the same key).
• Each row keeps the English key exactly, with every placeholder ({e}, {name}, {MAX_CSV_BYTES}), doubled brace, parameter name, command id, property and method name (Boolean.prototype.{name}, JSON.parse) and quoted literal value unchanged. Only the prose around them is German.
• The rows follow the conventions in the catalog's header (formal address, „ “ quotation marks, the decimal comma, 100 %, the initial-letter case of the English) and the feature names the catalog already uses, such as Zeichenfläche, Farbfelder, Kontur, Freiformverlauf, Tonwert and Vollfarbe. The translations are VectorCraft's own, written from the meaning of its English messages.
• docs/target-app-parity.md has one line for it under "Evidence: what ships today".
• The German row of docs/localization-parity.md now gives the catalog's message counts: 3,433 @msg and 48 @msgplural rows, counted 2026-11-13.

This pull request changes only the German @msg rows. The counts of menu strings (47), tl! strings (26), undo labels (11) and swatch names (45) that German still lacks are unchanged, and no other language's catalog is edited. Messages stay in English in command replies and MCP data; the status bar translates a message when it draws it.

Two of the messages with rows still show in English. Template::parse in crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/catalog.rs returns None for a message with two placeholders in a row, and the catalog then does not load the row. The rows for unknown parameter `{within}{key}`; {why} and {name} must be {lo}–{hi}{unit} (got {v}) are in the file and are counted by the report, but the status bar does not use them.

How it was tested

No test is added: the change is catalog data, and the existing i18n tests read it. bundled_catalogs_are_consistent checks every row's placeholders against its English and rejects duplicate keys, and translations_keep_the_backticked_names_of_their_english, translated_messages_keep_the_double_quoted_values_of_their_english, translated_messages_keep_the_bare_literals_of_their_english, translated_messages_keep_the_keys_and_values_their_english_names and translated_messages_keep_the_command_ids_their_english_names check the names and values a row must keep.

untranslated_report prints the missing rows and does not fail on them, so its output is the evidence of the count. On main at 4558196e16a, before the 38 rows were left out:

• The German section has no messages line. Its other lines are unchanged: menu strings (47), tl! strings (26), undo labels (11), swatch names (45).
• In the same run, a language without these rows, such as Czech, lists messages (1842).
• The 1,842 keys added are the same keys the report lists for a language without these rows, compared as sorted lists.

On the head 9a355b1a7, with main merged in, the report lists 48 German messages, 46 of them under "every language". 38 of the 48 are the rows left out for #7211, #7214 and #7116.

Focused checks on Linux. It conflicts with open #7282 in crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/de.tsv. It conflicts with open #7051 in crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/de.tsv. It conflicts with open #7134 in docs/localization-parity.md.
