Description

In the sound editor, the term "Triangle" is used both to describe a waveform shape and a musical instrument. The challenge arises when translating this term in the internationalization file ("strings.json") into other languages, where a single term may not accurately capture the nuance of both usages.

This can be solved if you change the terms like:

  • Waveform name: "Triangle wave"
  • Musical Instrument: "Triangle Instrument"
