Description
In the XML files located in the /indra/newview/skins/default/xui/en folder on the 2026-09-13 develop branch, there are four instances where sibling nodes with the same tag name have the same name attribute value. Since this hinders localization, please change them to appropriate names.

983: There are two elements inside
1013: <text name="quality_label">Resolution:</text>
2022: <text name="quality_label">Hulls per Mesh:</text>
This node is not currently used on Windows, so it could not be tested

Each child has a `label` element, but the `name` attribute is set to `application/octet-stream_label` or `video/octet-stream`, and the text nodes within them contain strings that should be translated.
