Description

Your idea

image

most of the text seen here can be translated through Transifex and can be presented in the target language instead of the original. This can be confusing and unnecessary, and I think the strings should be removed from Transifex so they would always appear in the original language
image
for clarity, I'm talking about the text that is inside the pallet, not the text in the bubble describing it (which is translated in this picture) because it can serve as the "actual translation" for inexperienced users to understand the musical terms if they are not familiar with them, and it will allow users to search for the text both in the original language and in the target language of the translation

Problem to be solved

this will allow users to use Musescore translated while still writing scores that look professional and will save users from redundantly correcting strings such as "legato" and "pizz." (and also tempo-related strings like "swing") which are never translated.
