      The Bug:

      Some instances of "third-party" within the game's strings are inconsistently spelled.

      Some strings refer to third-party as "3rd-party" whereas others refer to it as "Third-party". The presentation of this word should be consistent throughout all strings and not spelled differently.

      Below is a table I've constructed that highlights this error and shows the inconsistency that's present here. You can find information about what the current and expected strings are and would be, along with their translation keys.

      Affected Strings:

      Before reading the table, please note the following:

      • Words colored in GREEN are correct.
      • Words colored in RED are incorrect.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Locate any of the affected strings as listed in the table above.
      2. Take note as to whether or not some instances of "third-party" within the game's strings are inconsistently spelled.

      Observed Behavior:

      Instances of "third-party" are inconsistently spelled. Some strings refer to it as "3rd-party" whereas others refer to it as "Third-party".

      Expected Behavior:

      Any mentioning of "third-party" should be referred to as "third-party" throughout all strings to maintain consistency.
