* M15: Polish interface, and Polish spelling, grammar and hyphenation
Interface
- Polish is the tenth interface language ("Polski", pl.tsv, 1,045 entries);
pl, pl-PL and pl_PL.UTF-8 system locales select it automatically.
- Right-click menu labels now go through translation in every language.
- Review > Language is a menu (English US/UK, Polski, Do not check spelling
or grammar); the status bar shows the language at the caret.
- With a Polish interface, new blank documents and opened .txt/.md files
default to pl-PL.
Proofing
- Each run is checked in its own language (w:lang, resolved through
styles): squiggles, F7, review.issues, suggestions and hyphenation.
Text in languages without proofing tools is no longer flagged as English.
- Polish spelling from the SJP.PL Hunspell dictionary (Apache-2.0 option),
read by a new Rust affix engine (crates/proof/src/affix.rs); 875 KB asset,
~4.5M word forms. Regenerate with the pl_dictionary example.
- Polish suggestions: case, missing diacritics, rz/ż, ó/u, ch/h confusions,
missing spaces (napewno -> na pewno), edit distance.
- Conservative Polish grammar rules: repeated words, spacing, doubled
punctuation, sentence capitals, missing comma before że/który/ponieważ/
aby/żeby/jeśli…, we/ze forms.
- Polish hyphenation with the hyph-utf8 hyph-pl.tex patterns (MIT option);
pattern keys widened to 20 letters, TeX exceptions parsed; the heuristic
no longer treats ł, ż, ś… as vowels.
review.language validates and normalizes tags, can set noProof alone and
the document default; format.state reports lang and noProof.
Tests for every part, docs and ATTRIBUTION.md/NOTICE updated;
cargo xtask ci passes (fmt, clippy, test, assets, layers, wasm).

* Layout: rustfmt the test module order left unformatted by #391
cargo fmt --check failed on main after #391 added mod tests_grid.

* Review fixes for #346: read Polish spelling from the installed Hunspell dictionary
- Polish spelling uses the Hunspell pl_PL dictionary installed on the
system (OS packages, Homebrew, LibreOffice, ~/.local/share/hunspell, or
WORDCRAFT_DICTIONARIES) instead of a bundled 870 KB SJP.PL file;
without one, Polish text gets no spelling marks, like Word without the
language's proofing tools. .aff/.dic are size-capped and decoded from
UTF-8 or ISO 8859-2 (crates/proof/src/hunspell.rs).
- The dictionary can be replaced at runtime (install_dictionary) or
re-searched (reload_dictionary); an empty one accepts every word.
- Tests use small synthetic dictionaries written for them, so they don't
depend on what the machine has installed.
- The bundled pl.dic, its ATTRIBUTION/NOTICE entries and the generator
example are removed; docs describe the installed dictionary.

* #100: affix — accept FLAG UTF-8 and DEFAULT flag modes
Per-character flag modes are what the reader already parses; only the
multi-character encodings (long, num) stay errors. VERO pt_BR declares
FLAG UTF-8.
* #100: affix — widen flag masks to u128 (128 flag capacity)
VERO pt_BR needs 106 distinct flags; the u64 bitmask capped at 64.
Serialization is unaffected: WCAFF1 stores flag characters and
re-derives the masks on load.
* #100: affix — support FORBIDDENWORD
VERO pt_BR marks spellings it must reject with a forbidden flag (ý).
Stems carrying it are listed but never correct and never inflect.
* #100: affix — continuation classes in check
SFX A 0 able/B: the form derived by A carries flag B, licensing a
further suffix of class B (workable -> workables) while the bare stem
cannot take one. form_has_flag walks the chain depth-bounded
(MAX_CHAIN = 3); with no continuations declared it degenerates to the
stem lookup, so existing dictionaries are unaffected. VERO pt_BR uses
26 continuation rules.
* #100: affix — continuation classes in forms
Enumerate chained suffix forms (workable -> workables) under the same
MAX_CHAIN bound the checker walks, so every form the checker accepts
is listed and vice versa.
* #100: affix — round-trip continuations and FORBIDDENWORD through WCAFF1
The compact format keeps its WCAFF1 magic: continuation classes ride
on the rule's appended field (as in the .aff source) and the forbidden
flag becomes a FORBIDDENWORD line. Old files read as before.
* #100: affix — strip a UTF-8 BOM from .aff/.dic input
VERO's files open with a BOM; glued to the count line it parsed as a
stem (one garbage entry per load) and to SET it hid the directive.
* #782: affix — the module doc still rejected what the code now reads
Continuation classes and FORBIDDENWORD are supported; the header said
Rejected for both.
* #100: pt — Portuguese spelling, following the Polish module
ProofLang::Pt resolves pt/pt-BR/pt-PT/por tags; the pt module reads the
installed Hunspell pt_BR dictionary (VERO) through the affix engine —
FLAG UTF-8 flags, continuation classes and FORBIDDENWORD spellings all
exercised by the synthetic test dictionary. Hyphenated compounds are
checked part by part (guarda-roupa, ex-marido); without a dictionary
installed, Portuguese text gets no marks. Spelling message in
Portuguese; suggestions and grammar land next.
* #100: pt — Portuguese suggestions
Rounds of rising cost, driven by the dictionary's own tables: missing
accents from MAP (coraçao -> coração, saude -> saúde), the REP
confusions (seje -> seja, excessão -> exceção), a missing space after a
short function word (nãoé -> não é, dagua -> da água), one typo over
TRY, and an accent-folding stem scan — the Polish rounds, retuned for
Portuguese.
* #100: pt — Portuguese grammar flags
Conservative rules with Portuguese messages: repeated words (except
the emphatic doubles Portuguese allows), space before punctuation and
double spaces, sentence capitals knowing the Portuguese abbreviations
and dialogue dashes, and doubled punctuation. No comma rule: que opens
a clause only sometimes, so a wrong flag would cost more than a missed
one.
* #100: pt — Portuguese hyphenation
hyph-utf8's hyph-pt.tex bundled unmodified (BSD 3-clause, ATTRIBUTION
row with source and hash): 426 Liang patterns and 2 exception words;
falls back to the generic heuristic outside their reach.
* #100: pt — Review › Language offers Português (Brasil), and a pt-br interface writes pt-BR
The menu's fourth entry sets the run language; the status bar names
Portuguese; editing_lang is now allowed for pt-br (wordcraft-proof
proofs it), so new documents under a Portuguese interface are
Portuguese by default.
* #100: pt — engine test: Portuguese proofing through the review commands
review.language pt-BR normalizes the tag, review.issues reports
Portuguese spelling and grammar with the lang field, F7 and Change
apply a suggestion, Add to Dictionary works for Portuguese.
* #100: pt — Portuguese in the mixed-language proofing tests and docs
check_text proofs a Portuguese span with the Portuguese message; the
never-panic loops and the module docs cover the third language.
* #100: docs — Portuguese proofing in the gap, parity and roadmap docs
Gap 8 narrowed (English, Polish and Portuguese), localization parity
gains a Portuguese row and a revision entry, target-app-parity's
Proofing row moves 40% -> 42%, and the ROADMAP progress log records
what landed.
* #100: hunspell — LibreOffice extension folders follow the language
The search paths hardcoded LibreOffice's dict-pl; a pt_BR user whose
only dictionary is LibreOffice's dict-pt-BR extension — on Windows the
only realistic on-disk source — got silently no spelling. Both the
primary-language folder and the dashed full name are now tried, so
Polish keeps dict-pl and Portuguese finds dict-pt-BR.
* #100: pt — review fixes
Suggestion ties break toward the change nearest the word's start
(saúde before saudê, proven against a fixture that has both); the
Language menu's label is the English source "Portuguese (Brazil)" with
translations in all twelve catalogs (as Polish is); the attribution
counts pt.pat's 2 exception words; the pt fixture drops a duplicate
stem; docs/roadmap.md catches up with the landing; the throwaway spike
is gone.
* Review fixes for #782: two-suffix chain limit, module doc
- MAX_CHAIN = 2 counts suffixes in a row, matching Hunspell's two-suffix limit
(the old bound of 3 allowed up to four); test pins that a third is rejected.
- Module doc: say probes allocate small scratch strings instead of claiming none.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Review fixes for #797: NOTICE for pt.pat, no indexing in the LibreOffice folder helper
- NOTICE reproduces hyph-pt.tex's BSD 3-Clause copyright notice, conditions and
disclaimer, which the licence requires for binary redistributions.
- hunspell::lo_ext_dirs builds its list without indexing (never-crash rule).
- Catalogs: main already translates "Portuguese (Brazil)" in every language, so the
duplicate rows the branch added are dropped.

WordCraft
Writing and document design; an open-source, clean-room reimplementation of Microsoft Word, rebuilt in pure Rust.
A fast, open-source word processor with the Word workflow you already know: the ribbon, styles,
tables, track changes, references and mail merge. It reads and writes .docx, runs natively on
macOS, Windows, Linux and BSD, and in the browser via WebAssembly.
By the ArtCraft team.
WordCraft on getartcraft.com · ArtCraft · All Crafting Apps
The Open Studio Handbook, WordCraft's built-in sample: the ribbon, live Styles gallery, rulers and the Navigation pane.
[!NOTE] ArtCraft is a community of artists from all walks of life. Painters, photographers, filmmakers, illustrators, designers, animators, hobbyists, and people who picked up a pencil last week. If you make things, you're one of us. Come say hi on Discord.

A tour
Every screenshot below is WordCraft itself, rendered offscreen by its own UI test harness
(cargo run -p wordcraft-ui-egui --example ui_shot).
 Review. Track changes, comment balloons in the margin, accept and reject, spelling and grammar as you type. |
 References. Tables of contents, footnotes, citations in APA, MLA, Chicago or IEEE, index and captions. |
 Design. Themes, style sets, paragraph spacing, watermarks, page colour and borders. |
 Dark mode with formatting marks, and the Insert tab: tables, pictures, shapes, links, headers, footers, fields and symbols. |
 Layout. Drop caps, text wrapping around pictures and shapes, automatic hyphenation, line numbers and page borders. |
|
 File. Start from a template, open recent documents, edit properties, export to PDF and other formats. |
|
Why WordCraft
- Familiar. Word's ribbon tabs, groups, shortcuts and behaviour: Enter continues a list, Tab demotes it, Ctrl/⌘+B bolds the word under the caret, the Styles gallery previews styles live, F4 repeats, F7 checks spelling, F8 extends the selection.
- Your files. Opens and saves .docx (OOXML), and also .odt, .rtf, .html, .md, .tex (LaTeX), .txt; opens Word 97-2003 .doc; exports PDF with real, selectable text, links and bookmarks.
- Fast. Paragraph layout is cached, so typing in a 188-page document re-lays it out in about 1.4 ms; pages render on demand.
- Everywhere. One Rust codebase for macOS, Windows, Linux, BSD and the web. No Electron, no Tauri: native egui on the GPU.
- Built for agents. Every action is a command with an id. The same 422 commands drive the ribbon, keyboard shortcuts, the command search, a command-line tool, a JSON control channel and an MCP server.
- Private. Spelling, grammar and everything else work offline.
- Open. MIT OR Apache-2.0. Clean-room: built from public specifications and observation, with every asset original or openly licensed.

Quick start
git clone https://github.com/storytold/wordcraft
cd wordcraft
cargo run --release -p wordcraft -- --sample # the desktop app with the sample document
cargo run --release -p wordcraft -- report.docx # open a document
Command line:
wordcraft-cli convert report.docx report.pdf # docx, pdf, odt, rtf, html, md, tex, txt, png
wordcraft-cli text report.docx # plain text
wordcraft-cli inspect report.docx # structure as JSON
wordcraft-cli run --template sample \
--cmd 'select.text={"text":"Membership"}' --cmd format.bold --save out.docx
Web: cd apps/wordcraft-web && trunk serve, then open http://127.0.0.1:8771/?sample.
For agents: CLI and MCP
WordCraft was designed to be driven by people and by AI agents.
claude mcp add wordcraft -- wordcraft-cli mcp # headless documents
# confine the agent to folders: wordcraft-cli mcp --automation-read-root DIR --automation-write-root DIR
wordcraft --control 7981 & # or drive the running app…
claude mcp add wordcraft-app -- wordcraft-cli mcp --connect 127.0.0.1:7981
Tools include list_commands, execute, batch, type_text, select_text, inspect_document,
render_page, save_document, and, with a running app, screenshot, click and key. Agents
can check their work through inspect_document without screenshots. See docs/mcp.md
and the control protocol. Macros record any sequence of commands and
play it back (tools.recordMacro, tools.macros).
Logs
The desktop app writes its log records to standard error and to logs/wordcraft.log next to its
preferences: on Linux $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wordcraft/logs/ (by default ~/.config/wordcraft/logs/),
on macOS ~/Library/Application Support/WordCraft/logs/, on Windows %APPDATA%\WordCraft\logs\.
A start from a desktop menu or the Dock has no terminal, so this file is what to attach to a bug
report: unreadable parts of a .docx, pictures or fonts a PDF export had to leave out and panics the
command guard recovered from land there. Each launch moves the previous log to wordcraft.1.log
(and that one to wordcraft.2.log), so the log of a run that crashed survives the next start; a
log stops growing at 16 MiB. --version writes no file, and runs with WORDCRAFT_NO_PREFS (agents'
test runs) log to standard error only. Document text is never logged; a panic message leaves out
the text it quotes.
By default WordCraft's own crates log at info and everything else at warn. RUST_LOG replaces
that with env_logger-style directives, for example RUST_LOG=debug,
RUST_LOG=warn,wordcraft_docx=trace or RUST_LOG=info,wgpu_core=warn; a directive ending in *
covers every target starting with it (wordcraft*=debug). The logger is
apps/wordcraft/src/logging.rs.

Roadmap
WordCraft is in alpha. It covers 88% of Word's ribbon features with commands today; counting depth, file fidelity, stability and the rest, we estimate it is about 60% of the way to replacing all of Word for real work, about 55% for a typical professional's weekly work and about 63% for everyday essentials. Beta needs testing against real-world .docx files, keeping charts and SmartArt through a round trip, pagination closer to Word's, a stability sweep and native printing. Details and estimates: ROADMAP.md and where we fall short.

Installers and executables are code-signed.
If the app doesn't open on Windows: the desktop app initializes only DirectX 12 by default.
Letting wgpu also create an OpenGL instance can crash some graphics drivers (AMD's
atio6axx.dll) before the window appears, so the app would flash in Task Manager and quit.
WGPU_BACKEND overrides the default for troubleshooting (for example dx12 or vulkan). In
PowerShell, from the folder containing the executable:
$env:WGPU_BACKEND = "vulkan"
& .\wordcraft.exe
Remove-Item Env:WGPU_BACKEND # restore the default for later launches
An explicit gl override can bring the driver crash back on affected systems. The macOS, Linux
and web backend defaults are unchanged.
If the app quits right after its window appears with "Parent device is lost" in the log:
WordCraft compiles DirectX 12 shaders with FXC, the compiler built into Windows, so it needs no
dxcompiler.dll/dxil.dll and ignores any copy another program put on PATH (#603).
WGPU_DX12_COMPILER (fxc, dxc, auto) overrides this; with dxc, a matching
dxcompiler.dll and dxil.dll must sit next to wordcraft.exe. WGPU_BACKEND = "vulkan"
also avoids DirectX 12 altogether.
If the app is slow on an older Windows PC: when DirectX 12 finds no graphics card with a
driver for it (for example Intel 4th-generation graphics on Windows 11), it only offers Microsoft's
software renderer, which draws every frame on the processor. In that case WordCraft uses OpenGL
instead, without setting anything. The log file records the choice (lines starting with
graphics:). WGPU_BACKEND still overrides it, e.g. $env:WGPU_BACKEND = "gl" or "dx12".

Wayland: on a Wayland desktop the app runs through XWayland when it is available, because
winit (the windowing library) supports dragging files into the window only on X11. To use the
native Wayland backend instead (for example for sharper text with fractional scaling, at the cost
of file drag-and-drop), start it with WORDCRAFT_WAYLAND=1:
WORDCRAFT_WAYLAND=1 wordcraft
Arch Linux (AUR). Community members maintain three AUR packages; the project doesn't publish to the AUR itself. Install one of them:
