The "for" in "Minecraft for Windows" is untranslatable

The Bug:

The "for" in "Minecraft for Windows" is untranslatable, resulting in an inconsistency with the MS Store (https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/minecraft-f%C3%BCr-windows/9NBLGGH2JHXJ), Xbox App, and Microsoft websites where it's translated.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Open the Launcher in the version stated.
  • Set the language to something that is not English (Settings).
  • Observe the "Minecraft for Windows" page.

→  Regardless of the language selected, the "for" remains in English.

Observed Behavior:

The "for" in "Minecraft for Windows" is untranslatable.

Expected Behavior:

The "for" in "Minecraft for Windows" would be translatable, making it consistent with all other official instances of localized Microsoft product references.

Notes:

  • Attempt to search for the existence of these strings by using this search filter on the official Minecraft Launcher project on Crowdin.
  • Take note as to whether or not this string is untranslatable.
  • All other instances in the launcher are already translated according to the MS Store and Xbox App.
