+
+## Notes
+
+1. All strings listed in the "Strings That Need Internationalization" section should be wrapped with `i18n()`.
+2. The excluded strings are used for serialization, APIs, or internal purposes and should remain as plain strings.
+3. Some combo box items contain technical color channel names (R, G, B, A, K) which may or may not need translation depending on localization policy.
+4. Status bar format strings include printf-style placeholders (%s, %d) which should be preserved in translations.
