What and why

The Japanese 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 Japanese interface.

• crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/ja.tsv gets one @msg row for each of 1,804 of those messages: the errors of commands and their parameter checks, scripts, file import and export, printing and plug-ins. The catalog now has 3,421 @msg rows (1,617 before) and 48 @msgplural rows. No existing row is changed.
• 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). The 2 keys this branch shares with open Compound Shapes #817 stay until it merges.
• Each row keeps the English key exactly, with every placeholder, doubled brace, backticked name, double-quoted value, command id and bare true, false or null unchanged. Only the prose around them is Japanese.
• The rows follow the conventions the catalog's comment gives for its message rows: no final 。 unless the English ends with a period, and a space between Japanese text and an adjacent Latin word, number or placeholder. One row has no such space: {k} has control characters{_1} puts {_1} directly after 制御文字, as the English puts it directly after "characters", because the text that fills {_1} starts with its own space.
• The translations are VectorCraft's own, written from the meaning of its English messages, with the feature names the catalog already uses, such as アートボード, レイヤー, スウォッチ and 線. A native speaker has not reviewed the wording.
• docs/target-app-parity.md has one line for it under "Evidence: what ships today".
• The Japanese row of docs/localization-parity.md now gives the catalog's message counts: 3,421 @msg and 48 @msgplural rows, counted 2026-11-13.

This pull request changes only the Japanese @msg rows. The counts of menu strings (46), tl! strings (22) and undo labels (11) that only Japanese still lacks are unchanged, as are the 9 menu strings and 2 undo labels that every language lacks. No other language's catalog is edited.

Three of the 1,804 rows are in the file and are counted by the report, but do not yet put their message into Japanese:

• Template::parse in crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/catalog.rs returns None for a message with two placeholders in a row, so the status bar does not use the rows for unknown parameter `{within}{key}`; {why} and {name} must be {lo}–{hi}{unit} (got {v}).
• The row for {k} has control characters{_1} does not match the message for a multi-line File Info field. Its last placeholder is empty there (crates/engine/src/cmd/fileinfo.rs), and the last placeholder of a row never matches empty text.

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 change the report listed 1,842 messages for Japanese: 436 in its every language section and 1,406 in its Japanese section.
• With the change the report lists 38 messages for Japanese, the rows left out for 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: 36 in its every language section and 2 in its Japanese section. The Japanese section's other lines are unchanged: menu strings (46), tl! strings (22), undo labels (11).
• The report's total went from 42,854 missing rows to 41,050.

Focused checks on Linux. The branch is two commits on main at 4558196e16 and merges cleanly with it. It conflicts with open #7309 in docs/localization-parity.md. It conflicts with open #7151 in docs/target-app-parity.md.

Walkthrough

The parity document adds a Japanese catalog status note. It reports 3,421 @msg rows, 38 untranslated messages, reasons for the untranslated messages, and no native-speaker review of the wording.

Changes: Japanese catalog documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Record Japanese catalog parity docs/target-app-parity.md	The document reports the Japanese catalog count, untranslated-message count and stated reasons, and the absence of native-speaker wording review.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: Low · up to aca4f

The documentation now says in one place that Japanese message coverage is partial, but the localization table and the "Localised UI" statement still describe Japanese as complete. The status lines and revision histories were also not updated. This does not affect runtime behavior. Align these statements before or soon after merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title states that the Japanese catalog gains a row for 1,804 of the messages the untranslated report lists. The changeset adds 1,804 Japanese @msg rows to ja.tsv, so the title matches the main change. The title is specific but uses a numeric count and does not name the broader purpose (status and error message coverage). The ignored ja.tsv file is the source of the main change, and the summary and objectives both confirm the 1,804-row addition. The docs change is a one-line addition to the parity document, which is consistent with the title. The title is clear and concise enough to pass.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template sections: 'What and why', 'How it was tested', and 'Checklist'. The 'What and why' section explains the change, the reason, and the scope, and it references the issues and PRs involved. The 'How it was tested' section lists the tests and checks run, the report output before and after, and the CI run. The checklist items are all marked. The template asks to link an issue if one exists; the description links open PRs rather than an issue, which is acceptable. The description is thorough and mostly complete.

@coderabbitai The title check is a false positive, so the title stays as it is. The description says the catalog had no row for 1,842 messages and that this pull request adds a row for 1,804 of them; it leaves out 38 rows that #7211, #7214 and #7116 add. The branch adds 1,804 @msg lines to crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/ja.tsv (git diff 1e4e3534f5 f61c55876a -- crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/ja.tsv | grep -c '^+@msg' prints 1804), which is the number in the title.

@dotCooCoo You’re right. I verified that the diff adds 1,804 @msg rows. The description identifies 1,842 as the original missing count and explains that 38 rows are left to #7211, #7214, and #7116.

The title check was a false positive. Sorry for the incorrect finding.

_{You are interacting with an AI system.}

[dotCooCoo]

The title counts the 1,804 rows this pull request adds. 1,842 is the number of messages the report listed before the change; the other 38 are left to #7211, #7214 and #7116, so the title stays as it is.

Merged, thanks @dotCooCoo! It passed its CI checks.
