Spanish terminology
This note goes with the review of the Spanish catalog
(crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/es.tsv). The catalog already covered every measured key; the review
aligned its wording with the terminology a Spanish-speaking Photoshop user already knows, fixed
mistranslations, and made the register consistent. No proprietary translation resources, fonts,
screenshots or user documents are included: the terms are the ones a Spanish Photoshop user sees
in the product and its public help, and each was checked against the meaning of PhotoCraft's own
English label.
Register and style
- Formal "usted", as in Photoshop's Spanish UI: «Haga clic», «Seleccione», «¿Desea guardar…?». The catalog mixed «usted» and «tú»; every user-facing instruction now uses «usted».
- Sentence case after the first word, except panel and tool names, which keep their capital as in Photoshop: «Panel Carácter», «Herramienta Pluma».
- Quotation marks are «angulares»: «{name}».
- Neutral Spanish, matching Adobe's single Spanish catalog (for example «coma flotante»).

Menu names that are also actions keep Photoshop's distinction: Vista (the View menu, not «Ver»), Volver (Revert), Borrar (Clear), Cortar (Trim, unlike Crop «Recortar»), Descubrir (Reveal), Purgar (Purge). Product and technology names (Photomerge, Camera Raw, droplet, OpenType, sRGB, Wayland) are not translated.
Out of scope
Engine error, status and parameter-help messages are still English in every language (see
localization-parity.md); this review does not change that. The review
was AI-assisted, row by row against Photoshop's Spanish terminology; a review by a native
speaker is still welcome.
