Address people the way Apple does in every language

[Jeehut]

Overview

The translations now follow Apple's localization style guides for how each language addresses people. Where Apple uses a formal register, so does this package now: French „vous“, Russian «Вы», Bulgarian, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Greek, Croatian, Ukrainian, Kazakh, Indonesian, Malay and Hindi. European Portuguese uses the third person without a pronoun. Turkish sentences use the plural imperative „-in“, never the stiff „-iniz“. Polish uses a capitalized „Ty/Twój“. Languages where Apple addresses people informally stay as they were: German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, the Nordic languages, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Brazilian Portuguese.

Buttons take the form Apple uses for buttons in each language, because the polite form belongs in sentences:

Button form	Languages
Infinitive	fr, ru, uk, cs, sk, pt-PT, kk, lt
Singular imperative	bg, hr, tr
Noun form	hu, el
Polite plural imperative	ro

Field placeholders and instructions count as sentences.

While going through every message, several translations turned out to be truncated or garbled and were rewritten from the English source: sentence fragments in sk, ru, hr, tr and pt-PT, swapped placeholders in fr-CA, a wrong „Dismiss“ in cs, and missing sentences in a few informal languages.

Impact on apps using this package

No API changes. The package is meant to match the wording Apple's own UI uses, so this corrects it towards what apps already expect; it fits a minor version. Apps that ship these languages will show the corrected text there.

How this was verified

• Every catalog was checked entry by entry and per plural, device and substitution variant. The check covers placeholders (count, type, position), leading and trailing whitespace, and the ellipsis rule. It reports no placeholder or ellipsis issue. The few remaining whitespace notes predate this branch.
• swift build succeeds.

Apple's own wording for standard texts

Short UI strings (buttons, labels, titles) now use the exact wording Apple's own iOS 27 UI uses for the same English text, looked up per language in Apple's localizations, wherever the context matches. This also fixes several mistranslations. A value only got longer where Apple's wording or a rule demands it.

Lang	Key	Before	After
he	Logging.MailComposer.dismissButton	בעיה	סגירה
pl	Logging.MailComposer.dismissButton	Anuluj	OK
hu	Logging.MailComposer.dismissButton	Eltávolítás	Bezárás
pt-PT	Logging.MailComposer.dismissButton	Descartar	Fechar
it	Logging.MailComposer.notAvailableTitle	Mail Non Disponibile	Mail non è disponibile

Changed values: 69 (ar 2, bg 2, ca 3, cs 1, da 1, de 1, el 1, es 3, fi 2, fr-CA 1, he 4, hi 3, hr 3, hu 2, it 2, ja 2, kk 1, ko 2, ms 1, nb 3, nl 3, pl 2, pt-BR 1, pt-PT 2, ro 2, sk 2, sv 3, th 2, tr 2, uk 2, vi 1, zh-HK 2, zh-Hans 3, zh-Hant 2).

Two housekeeping fixes so the catalog check passes: the translations of serverError now keep the source's trailing space (the text is concatenated with the server's message, so without it the words ran together), and 83 legacy English-sentence keys that are only used as defaultValue and never had translations are marked stale, as Xcode itself does.
