General Question: Microsoft 365 admin console tab label

I've never noticed before, but I do now. My admin tab label in any browser I choose, across several networks, displays as "Početak - Microsoft 365 admin center" via login through https://portal.micro...

    Admin.microsoft.com uses resources hosted on res.cdn.office.net for those tab titles. In this case, that request looks like this:

    GET https://res.cdn.office.net/admincenter/admin-pkg/2024.3.28.1/en/jsc/reactadminbootstrap.js HTTP/1.1
    Host: res.cdn.office.net
    Connection: keep-alive
    sec-ch-ua: "Microsoft Edge";v="123", "Not:A-Brand";v="8", "Chromium";v="123"
    sec-ch-ua-mobile: ?0
    User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/123.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/123.0.0.0
    sec-ch-ua-platform: "Windows"
    Accept: */*
    Sec-Fetch-Site: cross-site
    Sec-Fetch-Mode: no-cors
    Sec-Fetch-Dest: script
    Referer: https://admin.microsoft.com/
    Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br, zstd
    Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9

    Although the path contains "en" as the lang code, the strings are (as everyone noted) in Croatian. All the other locales I tested (it, de, etc.) don't appear to have the same bug. Just "en." Also, res.cdn.office.net uses Akamai as a content delivery network, and this .js file is cached with Cache-Control max-age=630720000 (20 years?). So even if it was fixed on the origin servers, the Akamai cache would have to be purged, or they would have to use a new file path, and that appears to be their approach (this one has the release date /2024.3.28.1/ in the path).

    This has already been confirmed to be a bug that Microsoft is working on by other members, I just wanted to provide some additional details based on what I see.
