            Bug ID: 174083
           Summary: French: ”Languages and Locales" translated to "Langues
                    et locales"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 26.2.6.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Localization
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

To solve issue #157716, OptionsDialog.Nodes.LanguageSettings was renamed from
"Language settings" to "Languages and Locales". The latter was translated to
French as "Langues et locales", but “locales” is only an adjective in French:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/locale#French

I am a senior developer and French is my native language and I am not aware of
a French term equivalent to “locale” in the computing sense. In Microsoft
Windows 11, the equivalent classic panel is called “Région”. In the modern UI,
it is called “Heure et langue” and “Langue et région”.

I am guessing this specific instance is defined in
https://git.libreoffice.org/translations/+/refs/heads/master/source/fr/dictionaries/en/dialog/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office.po#27
but I see several instances elsewhere.

This persists in 26.8.1.1.
