[Help Wanted] Review localized module display names for the upcoming release #2526
Description
Hi everyone!
Per #2503, module name localization is coming to fastfetch in the next release! Module display names (e.g., Memory, Disk, Terminal, etc.) will now be translated into multiple languages.
Before this feature is shipped, I'd like the community's help to review and verify the translations, especially from native speakers. If you spot any awkward phrasing, incorrect terminology, or missing nuances, please let me know.
You can preview the localized module names right now with:
$ fastfetch -c all --key-language --show-errorsThis will render all available modules with their translated display names.
$ fastfetch --help key-languageThis will print all languages supported currently.
If you'd prefer to review the raw translation entries directly, all localized displayName fields can be extracted from the source tree with:
$ rg -U --multiline-dotall '\.displayName = .*?\},' src/modules/*/*.cThank you so much for helping make fastfetch more accessible to users around the world! Every review, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated.

Hi :)
I would rather translate "terminal" with "konsole", but that is the problem with german, "konsole" is rather tty than terminal, thus it is not used a lot these days, but the windows terminal and in a lot of german books it is indeed called "Konsole".
Don't really know which fits perfect, but I would translate it to:
Konsole; Konsolenschriftart; Konsolengröße; Konsolen Farbschema. (terminal, terminal font; teminal size; terminal theme).
You could also translate "init-System" to "Prozessverwaltungsystem".
The thing is: a lot of germans who now programming well do understand and use the words init system and terminal and maybe get confused by the translation.

So if you use KDE, you will get
Konsole: konsole?BTW, the module name may not be too long.

Wikipedia uses Terminal. Better keep it as it is.
Wikipedia uses Init-System too. I googled Prozessverwaltungsystem, Gemini translate it to
process management system or process control system. It's more like task manager or top(1), not init-system IMO.Hkwln commentedon Aug 24, 2026
I use locale C, i don't know how it is normally called in German and I honestly am sometimes confused of the German translations. I think it is good to keep it as is, when even wikipedia does not translate. They are not german words, but inherited from english that's why i mentioned.
