Spanish terminology and dynamic UI labels

This note goes with the review and completion of the Spanish catalog (crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/es.tsv). It already covered every key measured by cargo xtask i18n-coverage; the terminology review aligned its wording with the vocabulary a Spanish-speaking image editor already knows, fixed mistranslations, and made the register consistent. A later pass added the 1,276 runtime-only labels it still lacked. No proprietary translation resources, fonts, screenshots or user documents are included: every translation was written from 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»).

Dynamic UI coverage

After merging the newer upstream catalog rows, the catalog has 4,010 entries. It covers the complete Italian runtime key set and retains two Spanish profile-prompt labels that other catalogs also use. The additional labels include filter and adjustment parameters and choices, Filter Gallery names, Camera Raw, Lighting Effects, History and Layers controls, metadata, dialogs, status wrappers and System Info labels. Before this pass, those controls fell back to English because many are assembled dynamically and cannot be found by the static coverage scan.

spanish_covers_generated_filter_options_and_gallery_names in filter_dialog.rs enumerates the generated filter and adjustment surface and fails if a future label has no Spanish row. A few unused legacy labels are retained so the complete catalogs stay aligned.

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-generated error details, status text and parameter help that do not pass through the UI catalog remain English in every language (see localization-parity.md). User document, layer and preset names and automation command IDs also remain unchanged. The completion was contributed by @gorevyoneticisi with OpenAI Codex as an AI contributor under the repository's MIT OR Apache-2.0 terms; a review by a native speaker is still welcome.
