feat: translate the new media track names - #143
Merged
Conversation
The two strings added with the track menus shipped untranslated, so every language but English read "Track 1" for an unnamed track. Twenty languages get the numbered label, each using the word that language's existing track strings already use. Turkish and Vietnamese are left out: the terms currently in the catalog for "Track" read as "trace" and "groove", and picking between those and the alternatives is a call for someone who speaks them. The qualified form is punctuation, so it changes only where the punctuation does - Japanese and both Chinese scripts take the full-width brackets that belong beside CJK text.

Three of the catalog's current
Track/Trackstranslations look wrong, and I did not touch them here — they are outside this change:Track→Urmărire("tracking"),Tracks→Șenile("caterpillar treads"). The same file'sAudio Track→Piesă audiois fine, so the noun is inconsistent as well as wrong.Track→التتبع("tracking", the act) where the pluralالمساراتis right.İzand viRãnhread as "trace" and "groove". Both are why I left those two languages out rather than propagate a term I am not sure of.Verification
analyzeclean, 282 unit tests pass, format specifiers checked programmatically against every value.-AppleLanguages (de)the menu reads Aus / Spur 1, and with(ja)it reads オフ / トラック 1.
