Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.99.1
### Utility with translation issue
General
### 🌐 Language affected
Swedish
### ❌ Actual phrase(s)
When right clicking the clock widget the menu to copy date and time has inconsistent and bad translations.
"Kopiering, tid", "Kopiera data"
### ✔️ Expected phrase(s)
"Kopiera tid" for copying time and "Kopiera datum" for copying the date.
### ℹ Why is the current translation wrong
"Kopiera data" translates to "copy data" not "copy date" as it should.
"Kopiering, tid" translates to "Copying, time" which also is a weird phrase.
