Czech translation issue in Windows 11 setup – misleading Disk/Partition labels
Description:
There is a translation issue in the Czech version of Windows 11 setup, still present in the latest 25H2 build.
In the installation screen where the user selects the target disk/partition, the terms Disk and Partition are swapped in Czech.
English: Disk 0 Partition 1
Current Czech: Oddíl 0 disku 1
Correct Czech: Disk 0, oddíl 1
In Czech, "Oddíl" means "Partition" and "Disk" means the same as in English ("Disk"). The incorrect word order is confusing and could easily lead to a mistake, especially on systems with multiple physical drives. In the worst case, a user might delete or format the wrong partition.
I attached screenshots comparing English and Czech versions for clarity.
Expected translation:
Disk 0, oddíl 1
Disk 0, oddíl 2 (MSR vyhrazené)
Disk 0, oddíl 3 (Primární)
This issue has been present since 24H2 and is still not corrected in 25H2. Correcting this would significantly improve clarity and prevent possible data loss during installation.

Good catch — that’s a clear localization bug.
In short: the Czech Windows 11 setup screen has the Disk/Partition labels swapped. It currently shows “Oddíl 0 disku 1” instead of “Disk 0, oddíl 1.”You’re absolutely right that “Oddíl” = Partition and “Disk” = Disk, so the reversed order can easily confuse users during installation, especially on multi-drive setups.
Reporting it through the Feedback Hub (category Installation → Localization issues) with your screenshots attached is the best move — Microsoft’s localization team usually fixes such translation errors in upcoming builds.
Great catch. Do you know if this is recent or a long ongoing bug?
It is at least since 24H2. When it was not repaired in 25H2, i tried to post it online.
It is at least from 24H2, and I supposed it will be fixed in new version. But 25H2 arrived and it is still present, so I tried to post it online
