Russian terminology and dynamic UI labels

This note goes with the completion of the Russian catalog (crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/ru.tsv). The catalog already covered every key cargo xtask i18n-coverage measures, but it lacked the labels that only exist at runtime and that other catalogs (Italian, Serbian, Czech, Hungarian) already translate: filter and adjustment parameter names, Camera Raw panels, lighting effects, History / Layers / paths / channels menu labels, metadata fields, status messages, System Info and dialog text. In Russian those showed in English. They are now translated, reusing the vocabulary the catalog already uses elsewhere so the same term reads the same everywhere. Translations are written from the meaning of Picto's English labels; no proprietary translation resources, fonts, screenshots or user documents are included.

Register and style

Commands are imperatives in the second person plural (Сохранить, Удалить, Заново); where the catalog already uses a noun it is kept (Уровни…, Кривые…). Sentence case after the first word, as in the rest of the catalog. Ellipses on dialog commands are preserved (Ветер… → Ветер…). Decimals use a comma (the file format's own labels keep their dots, e.g. Landscape, 10 x 8 stays Альбомная, 10 x 8). Latin product and technology names are not translated (Picto, Camera Raw, RGB, CMYK, Lab, LUT, WebP); Camera Raw keeps .xmp; the HDR, HSL, HSB and W3C acronyms and the sGray/Pro Photo identifiers stay Latin.

Terminology

Existing choices were followed rather than re-invented, so the new rows use:

English source Russian Note
Highlight(s) Света already in the catalog (Highlights → Света)
Midtone(s) Полутона already in the catalog

Native review

The review was AI-assisted and each row was checked against the meaning of Picto's own English label. A review by a native speaker is still welcome.

Not covered

Engine error and status messages, user document, layer and preset names, and automation command IDs stay in English, as in every language (localization-parity.md). A few dynamic labels the other catalogs carry are not used by the current code; they are translated to stay aligned with the other catalogs.
