The word "Wi-Fi" is spelled as "WiFi" within a launcher string used to compare game features

The Bug:

The word "Wi-Fi" is spelled as "WiFi" within a launcher string used to compare game features.

This is a valid issue because Microsoft considers usages other than "Wi-Fi" to be incorrect. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-collections/w/wi-fi

Wi-Fi is a proper noun and a registered trademark. Capitalize and hyphenate when referring specifically to Wi-Fi technologies. Don’t use WiFi, wifi, or Wifi.

Below is a table I've constructed that highlights this error. You can find information about what the current and expected string is and would be, some context regarding it, and a link to the appropriate string on crowdin.

Affected String:

Before reading the table, please note the following:

  • Words colored in GREEN are correct.
  • Words colored in RED are incorrect.

 

Current String Expected/Suggested String String Context String URL on Crowdin

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Locate the affected string as listed above.
  • Take note as to whether or not the word "Wi-Fi" is spelled as "WiFi" within a launcher string used to compare game features.

Observed Behavior:

The word "Wi-Fi" is spelled as "WiFi".

Expected Behavior:

The word "WiFi" would be spelled as "Wi-Fi".
