Is it about the computer's language or the one you select in QGIS Options?

I'm not sure, I changed it from "computer's language" to "QGIS language settings"...

You need to update the description and screenshot in the Options --> map tools section.
And I wonder if we should explain the copy options here, or consider that what can be done in the "measure tool copy options" dialog should be explained in its own section, in the options/map tools page? We could just add a link to that specific section (see other comment)

I added a reference in the map_view, and I updated the 'measure tool copy options' in accordance with issue #8450.

Do we need this new image if options_map_tools.png is updated? It contains that widget already.
fixes #8450
