then go to: 操作(Action)

the translation is INCORRECT and strange, it maybe translated by non-computer experience users.

as the picture shown above,

"Tab" called 标签页 in Chinese. 选项卡 is incorrect and deprecated and rarely heard.

### Expected Behavior

- "rename tab title" should be translated as: "重命名标签页"
- "set the tab color" should be transated as: "设置标签页颜色"

### Actual Behavior

- "rename tab title" currently is translated as: "正在重命名选项卡标题..."
- "set the tab color" currently is translated as: "设置选项卡颜色..."

Research direction

Start by locating the Chinese language resources used by Windows Terminal for the Action menu labels described in the issue. Verify the current strings against the expected translations, then check the language in the terminal to confirm that “rename tab title” and “set the tab color” display the requested wording.
