Description
The distinction between "Swift" (particularly when not in code voice) versus "The Swift Programming Language" is non-obvious to the beginner.
Although the boundary of what's considered "standard library" is perhaps not entirely settled, given that clicking through gives us a page where the left-hand nav shows "Standard Library" as the title, it may be the closest consistent usage suitable for the link, page header, and left-hand nav.
(And perhaps the "Standard Library > Swift Standard Library" subcategory might then resurface the internal name "Core" or something like that. Some of this nomenclature probably needs LSG sign-off.)

Research direction
Start at the documentation page at https://docs.swift.org/latest/documentation/ and inspect the “Swift” link under “Libraries,” then follow its destination and compare the page header with the left-hand navigation. Confirm the preferred terminology with the relevant LSG reviewers. Done means the link, page header, and navigation use consistent beginner-facing names.
