Description

### Microsoft PowerToys version

0.99.1

General

Swedish

When right clicking the clock widget the menu to copy date and time has inconsistent and bad translations.
"Kopiering, tid", "Kopiera data"
Image

### ✔️ 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.
