 Newest first. One line per session: the date, what moved, and the new overall percentage.

+- **2026-10-09 (M14, German interface follow-up):** Follow the merged German catalog with shorter search/action labels, corrected callout/accessibility wording and a distinct certificate Subject context. Localized tool names retain their capitalization and comment composer titles go through the catalog. Search hints reserve shortcut space and Home cards bound text with full hover text; layout, context and German Preferences/search control regression tests cover these changes. Overall effort estimate remains about 30–35%.
+
 - **2026-10-09 (community, destinations):** Bookmarks and links go to their destination's position, not just its page (ISO 32000-2 §12.3.2.2): `/XYZ` puts (left, top) at the window's top-left and applies a non-zero zoom; `/Fit`, `/FitH` and `/FitV` switch to fit page, width and height with `top` or `left` at the window's edge; `/FitR` zooms to fit the rectangle, centred. Named destinations resolve the same way; crop-box origin, `/Rotate` and view rotation are accounted for; malformed or non-finite operands fall back to the top of the page. Not yet: the `/FitB*` content box (read as the page). Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).

 - **2026-10-09 (community, M14, Hungarian):** Magyar (`hu`) is a complete interface catalog (2,036 entries) covering every command, All tools entry, dialog, panel and notice, selected automatically for `hu` and `hu_HU`, and from Preferences. Informal "te"; commands are nouns (Mentés, Megnyitás). After a numeral the noun stays singular, so both plural forms match. Coverage tests check commands, All tools labels and every `tl!` literal; history labels keep captured names; the bundled Latin faces cover Hungarian diacritics including ő and ű. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).

 Simplified Chinese, French and German coverage tests, following PhotoCraft's complete-catalog approach, check every registered command, All tools label and `tl!("literal")` in the UI source. Simplified Chinese also checks direct `i18n::t` calls and multiline literals, plus the About tabs, contributor name modes, sort options, table headers and model columns. Generated history labels, contributor summaries and diagnostics are tested with user-supplied names and error details. Catalog coverage does not guarantee glyph coverage: the release-pinned craft-fonts input currently has no `Hans` face, and the web build embeds only BIZ UDPGothic Regular. Chinese font delivery remains separate work, as discussed in [#112](https://github.com/storytold/pdfcraft/pull/112) and [#140](https://github.com/storytold/pdfcraft/pull/140).

+German labels keep nouns capitalized, including tool names inserted into notices. The certificate viewer uses the `certificate` context for `Subject` (the certificate holder), while document properties keep the plain translation (the topic). Search hints reserve room for the shortcut, and Home cards limit their title and description to the available rows; hovering shows the full text when it is shortened.
