i18n: add Indonesian, Vietnamese, Hindi and Korean interfaces

[pechnikov2026-star]

Four new interface languages: Indonesian, Vietnamese, Hindi and Korean. Each is a complete catalog of 2,578 entries (every (context, English) key the bundled catalogs hold), written from the meaning of the English labels (clean-room), with ATTRIBUTION.toml entries.

What

• id.tsv, vi.tsv, hi.tsv, ko.tsv, registered in LANGUAGES (22 -> 26) and DATE_LANGUAGES.
• One @plural form each. Indonesian, Vietnamese and Korean have no number inflection; the Hindi nouns in the catalog read the same for every count.
• Dates: Indonesian writes month names as they stand; Vietnamese lowers tháng after a day number (7 tháng Ba); Hindi 7 मार्च; Korean 3월 / 토요일. Vietnamese, Hindi and Korean names are not Western European, so the PDF date-text path refuses them and suggests dd.mm.yyyy.
• Fonts: Indonesian and Vietnamese are Latin (bundled Inter). Hindi uses a Deva craft-fonts face (companion PR in storytold/craft-fonts) or, on desktop, an installed Devanagari face. No craft-fonts face has Hangul, so system_fonts::hangul_fallback() loads one installed face (Malgun Gothic, Apple SD Gothic Neo, Nanum, Baekmuk), never Noto CJK or Source Han (AGENTS.md §1.1); PDFCRAFT_SYSTEM_FONTS=0 turns it off.
• Fixes the stale ru.tsv SHA-256 in ATTRIBUTION.toml; docs updated.
• Restores the Telugu system-font fallback that rebasing onto main had dropped from theme.rs / system_fonts.rs while tests/fonts.rs still tested it (the red CI on the earlier pull request).

Tests

• Registration and persistence, locale-tag resolution, command / All tools / tl!() literal coverage for all four languages, date names, Hangul fallback and its candidate list.
• cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo xtask assets, and cargo test for ui-egui, engine and automation pass (built with CRAFT_FONTS_DIR set).

Known limits

• Korean shows replacement boxes in the web build and on machines with no Korean font until craft-fonts gets a Hangul face.
• No native-speaker review yet, especially the signature and certificate wording.
• Supersedes i18n: add Indonesian and Vietnamese interfaces #1633 (id+vi only) and i18n: add Indonesian, Vietnamese, Hindi and Korean interfaces #1646 (same change; recreated because GitHub stopped dispatching CI on it after the rebase-fix push).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added Indonesian, Hindi, and Korean as interface languages, including translated text and language preference support.
  • Added date formatting for Indonesian, Hindi, and Korean.
  • Improved display of Devanagari and Hangul text with additional font support and system-font fallbacks.
• Limitations
  • Hindi and Korean date text cannot be written through the PDF date-text path.

[writingdeveloper]

Hello! I noticed the Korean catalog in #1976 is structurally complete, but some security-relevant redaction terms may confuse users. The current Korean word 검열 normally means censorship; PdfCraft's redact.mark, redact.apply and redact.clear respectively mark, permanently remove and clear pending marks without content removal.

I prepared a dependent draft PR against your i18n-id-vi branch, rather than a duplicate language PR against upstream main: pechnikov2026-star#1. It changes 28 Korean wording entries (including sanitize, form flattening and printer marks), adds a targeted terminology regression test and documents the exact Rust call sites.

Static catalog checks: 2,590/2,590 keys; no placeholder/TSV errors; Rustfmt passes. Cargo tests and actual Windows PDF save/reopen QA are still pending, so this is intentionally a Draft, not a claim that the app has been verified or linguistically signed off by an independent reviewer. Would you prefer these improvements integrated into #1976 directly? I can adapt to your current branch without duplicating your contribution.

Hello. Yes, I would highly appreciate a native speaker's review and correction. I am not a native speaker myself, and I worked on this to help make good products accessible to more people

[grapefruit0205]

Native Korean review + independent runtime verification of the Korean catalog.

I built your branch's Korean catalog into a Linux release binary and ran it, so this is grounded in
observed behaviour rather than a read-through. Your ko.tsv is byte-identical to what I tested
(sha256 b570144be1a0296fa4a95648611709641420efbff44de7845344c1cbe2c37004).

Verified working

• Language switch and persistence through the control channel: ui.set {key:"language",value:"ko"}
  then ui.state returns language: "ko". ui.inspect returns Korean widget labels
  (모든 도구, 도구 및 명령 찾기, 추천 도구).
• Hangul renders. With an installed Hangul face the app logs
  interface font fallback: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/nanum/NanumGothic.ttf (face 0), and the whole
  interface draws with no replacement boxes.
• Test suites pass: pdfcraft-ui-egui lib 370 passed / 0 failed; font integration 13 passed;
  engine dates 11 passed; cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy -D warnings clean.
• Date names are right: 1월, 토요일; month and weekday names are identical standalone and after a
  day number, so months_with_day: None is correct.

Your claim that no QA had been done is now partly covered — at least on Linux, with an installed
Korean face.

Terminology issues that remain

I agree with the redaction finding in
pechnikov2026-star/pdfcraft#1: 검열
(censorship) is wrong for redaction, and that PR's stage separation (mark / apply / clear) matches
the code. Adobe's own Korean localisation uses 교정 for redaction, which is another option worth
considering instead of a descriptive phrase.

What that PR does not fix:

1. redaction mark still has three different Korean wordings in one feature. After applying
that PR's 28 entries, these remain:

English	Korean
Clear redaction marks	제거 대상 표시 지우기
Applied {n} redaction marks…	수정 표시 {n}개가 적용되었습니다…
There are no redaction marks… (2 variants)	수정 표시가 없습니다… / 적용할 수정 표시가 없습니다
Remove redaction marks	제거 대상 표시 삭제
Add redaction mark	제거 대상 표시 추가

So the same object is 제거 대상 표시, 수정 표시 and (before the fix) 검열 표시. 수정 also means
"edit"/"correction" and collides with real editing UI, so a user reading 수정 표시 1개가 적용되었습니다 cannot tell whether content was edited or marked for removal. One term should be
chosen and used in all ten entries.

2. Flatten also has three wordings. After the fix PR, which changes only
Flatten form fields:

English	Korean
Flatten comments	주석 병합
Flatten form fields	양식 필드 평탄화
Flatten	병합
Flatten Fill & Sign	채우기 및 서명 병합
This document has no comments to flatten	평면화할 주석이 없습니다
This document has no form fields to flatten	평면화할 양식 필드가 없습니다

병합 (merge) is actively misleading here: per crates/edit/src/flatten.rs, flattening merges
annotation appearances into page content, but "병합" is also the word for combining documents, so
주석 병합 reads as "merge comments together". Note also that the fix PR makes the tool name and the
error message use different words for one operation (양식 필드 평탄화 vs 평면화할 양식 필드).
Japanese uses one term throughout (統合); Korean should pick one too (평탄화 is the accurate
calque, 고정/정착 read more naturally to non-engineers).

3. Verify and OK share one translation, but they are different actions. Both are 확인:

English	Korean	Where
OK	확인	dialog accept (crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs)
Verify	확인	"check this file against PDF/A" button (crates/ui-egui/src/standards_ui.rs)

In the Standards dialog, Save as PDF/A / Verify / Close become PDF/A로 저장 / 확인 /
닫기, where 확인 reads as an acknowledgement rather than "run the check". Japanese distinguishes
them (検証) and so does German (Prüfen). 검사 or 검증 would separate it.

4. Collapse and Zoom out share one translation. Both are 축소. Collapse is used for
folding a panel row (crates/ui-egui/src/combine_grid.rs, a11y_ui.rs), which has nothing to do
with zoom; Japanese uses 折りたたむ and German Einklappen. 접기 is the expected word.

These last two are homonym collisions I found by grouping English keys that map to one Korean
string — 124 such groups exist, and most are harmless variants (Page/pages), so I only listed the
ones where the two English keys are genuinely different actions in different parts of the UI.

Not issues (checked, no change needed)

• 24 entries where source equals translation are all deliberate: product names (JavaScript, ZIP,
  PDF Optimizer), technical literals (+LOC, ΔLOC, {0}: {1}) and key-context key names
  (Delete, Esc, Ctrl). The key catalog context is what keeps Delete reading as a key while
  the command stays 삭제 — that design works.
• No placeholder, TSV-structure or ellipsis errors in the catalog.

Beyond the catalog

ko.tsv alone will not make Korean work everywhere. For reference, upstream already has #507 and
#1678 for the Hangul file-name/bookmark tofu, and #1484 for shipping a real Hangul UI face — without
one, Korean text falls back to whatever is installed, which is the current release situation for
Chinese too (#826).

I am not claiming native-speaker sign-off on the whole catalog; this review covers the security- and
action-related wording and the rendering/registration path I could execute. Happy to re-test once
the terminology entries change.

[pechnikov2026-star]

Thank you both — this is exactly the review the catalog needed.

@writingdeveloper Your fork PR #1 is merged into this branch as-is (commit 5eeb645): the stage-aware redaction terminology, the regression test and the wording changes are all in. I only dropped docs/korean-localization-review.md from the tree — its rationale now lives here in the discussion, where docs/ holds the project's reference documents. Happy to restore it if you prefer.

@grapefruit0205 Applied all four remaining findings on top (commit 3a1c029):

• Redaction marks now read 제거 대상 표시 in all ten entries — the four stragglists (Applied 1/{n}, There are no …, … to apply) moved off 수정 표시, which as you say collides with editing.
• Flatten is 평탄화 everywhere: the bare tool name, comments, form fields, Fill & Sign (and the "when saving" preference label, which had drifted to 고정), the sanitize description and the "(flattened)" list item. Both 병합 and 평면화 are gone.
• Verify is 검증 (Standards dialog no longer shares 확인 with OK).
• Collapse is 접기 (no longer shares 축소 with Zoom out).

ko.tsv's SHA-256 in ATTRIBUTION.toml is updated, cargo xtask assets passes, and the i18n suite is green (118 passed). The running instance you described — language switch, Hangul via the installed Nanum face, date names — matches what we test locally; #1484 for a shipped Hangul face is indeed the remaining gap for release builds.

The same branch also feeds #2183 (Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, stacked on this PR), which went through the same full-catalog audit; its audit fixed the same class of issues you found here (Dutch "kop"/"jj", Danish "redaktion", Swedish On-Blur/word-order), so the methodology transfers.

[pechnikov2026-star]

CI fix: the SHA-256 entries in ATTRIBUTION.toml for the edited translation catalogs (hi, id, ko) are re-verified and updated; cargo test -p xtask passes locally (49/0), and cargo xtask assets is green.

📝 Walkthrough

The UI and date registries add Hindi, Indonesian, and Korean. Font handling adds Devanagari selection and embedding, plus Hangul system fallback. Tests and attribution records cover the added language and script support.

Changes: Language and script support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Language registries, date formatting, and attribution crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/mod.rs, crates/engine/src/dates.rs, ATTRIBUTION.md, ATTRIBUTION.toml	The UI and date registries add Hindi, Indonesian, and Korean. Tests cover locale resolution, translations, date formatting, PDF date-text handling, and catalog coverage. Attribution records cover the three translation catalogs.
Devanagari font selection and fallback crates/fonts/build.rs, crates/fonts/src/craft.rs, crates/fonts/src/lib.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/theme.rs, crates/ui-egui/tests/fonts.rs	The font crate selects and exports Devanagari UI and document fonts, and the wasm build includes Devanagari faces. The UI fallback chain and font tests include Devanagari.
Hangul system-font fallback crates/ui-egui/src/system_fonts.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/theme.rs, crates/ui-egui/tests/fonts.rs	The UI adds a cached Hangul system-font fallback, platform-specific font candidates, and a public fallback name. Tests check candidate selection and Hangul glyph coverage.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: duydev, manchitmr, puemmth

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2b445

Korean text may show as replacement boxes in web builds without a Hangul font. The limitation is acknowledged by the author and affects only Korean on web; other languages and platforms are unaffected.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2b445

Korean can become active without a font capable of displaying it, leaving important action labels and permanent-redaction warnings unreadable. Installed desktop fonts mitigate this where available, but the web path excludes that fallback. The reviewed language and date-writing controls otherwise remain intact.

Retained concerns

• Medium · reliability · inferred: Korean activation is not gated on Hangul glyph availability. The installed fallback is excluded on wasm and optional on desktop, while translated action labels and permanent-redaction confirmation remain Korean. In fontless configurations, replacement boxes can therefore obscure the distinction between marking content and permanently removing it. This exposure is newly reachable through the added Korean registry entry; equipped desktops mitigate it, but there is no demonstrated readable-language fallback for unavailable fonts.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The identified concern affects application sessions using Korean without adequate Hangul coverage, including the web path that excludes installed fonts. Its demonstrated scope is warning and action-label readability, not a cross-tenant or privileged-service compromise.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — The concrete failure path is Korean selection or locale resolution, followed by unavailable Hangul glyphs, followed by translated security-sensitive UI rendered as replacement boxes. This can undermine understanding of permanent redaction; no attacker-driven exploitation or bypass of the confirmation itself was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The new Hangul loader uses enumerated platform font names through the existing local-font discovery path. Windows environment roots and Unix Fontconfig paths can influence locations, but document text does not supply candidate paths. Existing controls include the system-font opt-out, a metadata size check, a 16-face limit and glyph-probe validation before UI registration.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Font discovery publishes a complete optional result through OnceLock, so repeated and concurrent access shares the initialized result rather than partially assembled font data. Failure is contained as absence, but that containment does not preserve readable Korean warnings.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Make Korean activation conditional on usable glyph coverage, or provide a supported bundled face. When coverage is unavailable, retain a readable language for security-sensitive warnings and recovery controls rather than relying solely on successful catalog lookup.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Provide a Hangul font before offering Korean on the web.

When a web user selects ko, the interface loads Hangul labels. crates/ui-egui/src/theme.rs adds the installed Hangul fallback only on non-wasm targets. crates/ui-egui/src/system_fonts.rs also states that no embedded face has Hangul. Korean labels therefore display as replacement boxes in the web build. Bundle a suitable Hangul face for the web, or do not offer ko where the interface cannot render it.
