The app launcher, the window title and the app's own messages now all say Text Editor, the way Folio appears as Files. The binary, package, icon, desktop id, README and docs keep the Plain name.

  • Launcher: the desktop entry's Name goes from Plain to Text Editor.
  • Window title: hyprland.conf — Text Editor, through qsTr("Text Editor").
  • Messages: the four banner messages that named Plain name Text Editor, for example "Text Editor can't replace this file safely because …".
  • Translations: the title and the four reworded messages are new strings in en.json. The i18n sync workflow translates them into the other 49 languages after merge and prunes the four old ones; until it lands, those five strings show in English.
  • Sync brief: translators are told to render Text Editor as the words for a text editor, consistently, instead of keeping Plain as a product name.

The launcher name itself is not translated: the desktop entry has no Name[xx] lines.

The desktop entry's Name goes from Plain to Editor, so the app launcher
lists it by what it does, the way Folio already appears as Files.

The window title follows the launcher name, the way Folio's window says
Files: "hyprland.conf — Editor". The word joins en.json, so the
translation sync fills in the other languages once this lands, and the
sync's brief says what it names.

The four banner messages that named Plain name Editor, to match the
launcher and the window title. Their English text changed, so they are
new strings for the translation sync, whose brief now has translators
render the name as the word for a text editor.

Editor alone sits beside Neovim and the other editors in the launcher;
Text Editor says which kind. The launcher name, the window title, the
four banner messages and the sync's brief all follow.
