This should be the name of the language in itself. I guess this one should be "Español (formal)" or something like that.

It is. In en.json is reads "name":"English" and the translator simply translated it without paying attention to its special role.

We can not fix this like this. A translation is a translation. The language name should come from the code and shoukd not be trnslated. We always display a language in its own language.

Where is this string used? We need to fox this in a dedicated issue... and it sounds like a regression.

We need to be careful to merge the translewiki PR at least once a month, otherewise manager of translatewiki come to me directly to ask what is going on.

And the name of the language comes from the translation file. The translators just need to pay attention to the description of that string from qqq.json that is displayed to them beside the translation text box:

Where is this string used?

The string is used in the UI language selector.

This is not a regression. It is just a translator not following the rules.

In the previous comment, my links point to libkiwix instead of kiwix-desktop but the same argumentation applies to kiwix-desktop.

The string is used in the UI language selector.

It looks like in kiwix-desktop there is no UI to select the UI language (at least I couldn't find it). Then this string isn't used anywhere.
