Description

### Description

Opening the context menu on a system with multiple languages installed causes some of the commands to appear in a different language. See attached image for example

My case could be even more specific as I am currently an English system and UI language, Italian locale for dates and numbers, and English and Traditional Chinese keyboards layouts installed. The "Notepad", "File Locksmith" and "PowerRenamer" entries are localized in Traditional Chinese instead of the expected English. Default context menu to show that they are actually properly shown in Windows
