Update English.nsi

[bovirus]

Proposal for master English language change.

• Add CR/LF for multi-period long strings.
  Each period is on separate line.
  Better clearance.

• Remove "." for Launch qbt string.
  Not need because it's an option (not description) and typically not required "."

• Replace "application" with "qBittorrent" (application name).
  More clear and direct.

Thanks. KR;

• Replace "application" with "qBittorrent" (application name).
  More clear and direct.

I wonder if the fact that the use of the term Application in the installer of "qBittorrent application" refers to "qBittorrent application" is unclear to someone?

Never underestimate the potential of stupidity. Have you not seen some of the issues that get posted to this issue tracker on a disturbingly regular basis? This makes it a tiny bit clearer what's happening, so, on those grounds, I'm not against this change.

I consider only by clear point of messages.

What's the negative point to replace "application" (generic) with "qBittorrent" (more specific)?
Same space used. More clear and direct.
And avoid misunderstanmding.

As I suggested in #13607, regarding inst_warning and uninst_warning, "qBittorrent is running. Please close qBittorrent it before (un)installing." is still clear but has the benefit of avoiding repetition.

@alessandrosimonelli

It's your persoinal opinion.

For me is not a ripetition.
It's a specific explanation that is not relative to "application" (genric) but about specfici "qBittorrent".

As explained also by @FranciscoPombal to avoid any type of misunderstanging it's better to avoid to consider "clear" generic term and use instead as much as possible direct and clear term.

About changing "application" to "qBittorrent": I did the same for the Dutch translations in this pull request: #13609
I received criticism the same way bovirus did. This was my answer: "computer novices (like my mom) don't exactly understand what "the application" refers to. They could (and my mom did) think that it refers to the installer application they just downloaded and opened. Ideally, the English source string would have been edited to prevent any confusion."

@alessandrosimonelli I also like the solution to replace "the application" by "it" to prevent repetition. Either way, I think it's a good idea to change the strings to prevent confusion.

Well, that makes sense.
I suggest the following rule:

1. Use the word qBittorrent when it is mentioned for the first time within a string.
2. If the string contains other references to qBittorrent, then use it (rather than repeating qBittorrent).

What do you say?
