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.

Great catch. Do you know if this is recent or a long ongoing bug?
