Description
I've noticed that English always uses three dots (...) to indicate an ellipsis (one exception).
However, many localizations here use a mix of three dots and the horizontal ellipsis character (…).
Should this be standardized across all texts?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked notificationsCenter.ts exception and searching the localization texts for both three-dot and horizontal-ellipsis forms. Confirm whether maintainers have decided on a standard; done would mean applying that decision consistently across the affected texts.
