English interface, German stays the default

The interface now follows the system language: German by default, English when macOS is set to English. Both string tables ship inside the app — nothing to configure.

Two bugs found while testing that

  • An AirPlay screen showed up as "Display 8". It publishes no EDID data, because it is not physically connected at all. The name now comes from NSScreen when the IORegistry has nothing to offer.
  • That same screen was presented as a cabling problem ("adapters and hubs are the usual cause"), when AirPlay simply has no control channel by design. AirPlay screens are now recognised by their aapl/airp identifiers and say so.
