Translation also translated the module names

[htcfreek]

Have looked at the German translation of settings. Have seen that the module names were translated on some translations. This leads to interesting names and inconsistencies:

Example

Original	Translsted into German	Comment
About FacyZones	Info zu FancyZones
About Color Picker	Info zum Farbwähler
About Image Resizer	Info zur Bildgrößenänderung	Translated text says "Information on how to change image size" and not "Info about Image resizer tool"
About PowerToys Run	Info zum PowerToys-Startprogramm
About File Explorer	Info zum Datei-Explorer	Translation says "Information about File Explorer". What about renaming into "File Explorer Addons"?

The problem is that we get different namings of the PT modules and the translation leads to incorrect meanings.

@htcfreek
can you provide some screenshots of the places where they got translated?

@enricogior

I have checked all translation files I could find. Here is a list with files that contain translated or not translated module names.

• Settings translation (German)
• PT Run translation (German)
• Color Picker translation (German)
• Image Resizer translation (German)
• PowerToys Run Program-Plugin translation (German)

I hope that I don't have missed something.

Yes, actual names should not be translated. It's too weird.

I personally would find it strange if the names get translated in the future. 😂

@enricogior
How is this prioritized? I think it should be fixed before releasing 0.25.0!

@crutkas
have we decided which modules names should be translated? (none/some/all)
If some/all will be translated can we document which one so we will know if we need to put them in the resx files or not.
Problem is, some names cannot be translated literally otherwise they would become hilarious (FancyZones in particular), who will come up with acceptable/meaningful name?

@enricogior, @crutkas
Any updates on this issue?

@crutkas
For which date do you planning to release 0.25? This month or next month?

One more example: the text from Power Rename in the shell context menu

[crutkas]

@enricogior no module name should be translated

The actually top issue translation matches the English. The root of don't translate certain items we need to address
