Screenshot of Plasma Vault in Russian i18n

SUMMARY

After upgrading to Plasma 5.20.4, I noticed that the unlock icon near the folder name now has a title. But the title is too long, so I can't see the encrypted folder name. See the screenshot for details.

Moving to i18n as this is (IMO) a translation problem.

I'd say the translation is overly literal - almost as translating Plasma as "системный пользовательский интерфейс" everywhere instead of using the product name.

The product name is Vault. It could be translated to Russian as сейф.

It's not common to translate product names, and Russian KDE team has been following this principle since ~2007. I can only think of a few exceptions like "System Settings" and KTuberling (until ~2010s, not anymore).

Also, there the word "vault" means different things depending on context, e.g.:
 1. Product name
 2. The entities that the user interacts with via this product.
