Replying to [comment:4 siarzhuk]:
> IMO this is an excessive localization - the names of licenses must not
be localized at all, because it breaks the "click and read" functionality
in the list of installed software.
I've also noticed this (see #7491 AboutSystem: clicking on localized
license name doesn't open license file). But in this case, the "click and
read" functionality works fine in a localized system. It's only the
graphical representation of the licence name that is a little odd - even
if the licence name itself isn't translated. At the moment, if you don't
translate this part of the string you'll still get "%MIT licence%" instead
of "MIT licence". Only in an English system, the %s are cut as intended.
