Name the interface in English on the English pages
English is QElectroTech's source language since PR #1390 (merged
2026-10-08), so the English interface shows English labels. Menu,
dialog and button names on the English pages were French with an English
gloss; they now use the exact English labels from the program
(lang/qet_fr.ts read backwards), and the glosses are dropped.
The Configuration menu is Settings in English, and the keyboard_control
mnemonics follow the English labels (Display Alt+A, Settings Alt+S,
Help Alt+H). Screenshot captions still describe the French captures
they show. The -FR and -DE pages are unchanged.
Quick start, manual, FAQ, tips: wires are dragged from a terminal, double-click placing, Edit submenus, autosave off by default
Call a folio a sheet, as the English interface now does (PR #1216)
Prose only: page URLs (folio_links, navigating_folios), image names, code,
XML tag and variable names, and French menu names are unchanged. Readers
arriving from older forum posts are told a sheet used to be called a folio.

Fix fabricated shortcuts and behaviors across four pages
Audited every English wiki page against source this session. Pages
already citing specific source files (variables.md, autonumbering.md,
element_editor.md, preferences.md, collection_browser.md and others
fixed earlier) held up under spot-checking. The four pages here had
none of that discipline applied and each repeated the same class of
fabricated claim, now checked and corrected:
- **Rotate is Space, not R.** R isn't bound to anything in the diagram
editor -- checked ShortcutManager's registry directly.
- **Zoom in/out is the platform's standard zoom key, not bare +/-.**
QKeySequence::ZoomIn/ZoomOut, not a literal + or - keypress.
- **Double-click on an element or wire opens its Properties dialog,
not an inline text box.** Checked directly:
QetGraphicsItem::mouseDoubleClickEvent() and
Conductor::mouseDoubleClickEvent() both call editProperty(). Type
