Mixxx automatically creates single effects chains for all effects, to make them visible in a chain based GUI.
However the name is taken form the translated text, during the first start. If that is not your mother language and you change the language preferences accordingly, the chain name visible in the combo box will stitch with the original language.

As a workaround should use the English names when creating the default chains and look up the translation before presenting them in the GUI.

This works only if the User has not customized the name. That should be OK.

I'd prefer to not have magic modifying the displayed name of existing presets. That could get confusing when looking at the XML files in ~/.mixxx/effects. I think the present solution of translating the names on first startup is good enough despite the drawback that the names will not be changed when the user's language setting is changed.
