Turkish interface

Last reviewed: 2026-10-11 · Last updated: 2026-10-11 · Change: minor (Turkish interface catalog and regression checks) · Target: WordCraft 0.5.0

Choose File › Options › Interface language › Türkçe, or follow a Turkish system display language (tr-TR, tr-CY, tr_TR.UTF-8). The catalog code is tr; ui.language with {"value":"tr"} selects it explicitly, and WORDCRAFT_LANGUAGE=tr-TR does the same for a headless screenshot or a launch while the preference is auto. The choice is saved with the other interface settings. Document text, command ids, CLI/MCP/control responses and file paths do not change.

crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/tr.tsv has all 1,307 keys of the Spanish catalog. It is written from the meaning of the English labels; no proprietary translation resources were consulted. The catalog format has no plural forms, and Turkish doesn't need them here: a noun after a number stays singular (0 sözcük, 1 sözcük, 21 sözcük). Placeholders, \n breaks in ribbon labels and dialog ellipses are kept, and strings added later fall back to English until they are translated.

Product and format names stay as they are. Commands use the imperative. Turkish İ/i and I/ı are written directly in the labels; code never uppercases a translated label, except the Font dialog's preview sample, which therefore has no lowercase i (AaBbYyZz ĞğİıŞş uppercases to AABBYYZZ ĞĞİIŞŞ).

Command search folds translated labels and ribbon locations with the Turkish İ/i and I/ı pairs, so italik, içindekiler and YAZI TİPİ find their commands. English labels, locations and ASCII command ids keep the default case-insensitive match, so INSERT.TABLE and FORMAT.ITALIC still work. Other interface languages and document search are unchanged.

Verification and remaining scope

cargo test -p wordcraft-ui-egui --lib i18n::tests covers Turkish locale tags and preference order, saving and restoring tr, unknown preferences, unchanged document content, key parity with Spanish, placeholders, count wording, the font sample's capitals, English fallback, and the glyphs ÇçĞğİıÖöŞşÜü in the bundled Inter (Regular, Medium, SemiBold) and JetBrains Mono. A dialog test renders real command-search results in Turkish and English, including dotted and dotless I and ASCII command ids. The shared catalog checks (validation, every tab and command translated) include Turkish automatically.

Spelling, grammar and hyphenation stay English-only: this is an interface translation, not Turkish proofing. A native-speaker skim of the catalog is welcome.
