@Daniel:

If you don't agree, what would you prefer? I have already mentioned two suggestions to address the inconsistency.

This is not about "Pinned" vs. "Favorites". It's about "Pin/Pinned" vs. "Add/Added" and "Dash" vs. "Dock".

My (latest) idea is to accept "Pin to Dock" as a minimum change given the current code. Another possible solution would be to keep the 22.04 solution, i.e. use the original Ubuntu terms all over also going forward.

Yes, for those who choose a GNOME session. My concern is the Ubuntu sessions.

* It's a patch we would have to maintain.

Something should be done. Getting rid of the the inconsistent terminology, in one way or another, is not a wishlist request. The inconsistency is a bug, which gets extra obvious when you deal with docs and translations.
