The accelerator for the "Preferences" menu item introduced by me in the German and English translation has broken the window title for the preferences window for these locales, my apologies  :-[

It seems that in the past, menu items had their own context "mainMenu", but subsequently everything became "adm". This leads to problems when the same string is used both as a menu item and as a window title, once menus get enhanced by accelerators. A future-proof solution would probably require a return to a special context for menu items with resulting massive changes to translations, but for now I would suggest just adding an accelerator to the "Preferences" string in myOwnMenu.h to keep different usages of the string apart:

         };

This still requires minor changes to translations. Here is the patch for all languages (each tested) exposed in the GUI:
