The German translation for keyboard shortcuts is currently ambiguous. Both "Capture" and "Record" have been translated as "Aufnehmen," making it impossible for users to distinguish between the two functions in the settings menu.

Expected Result: The translations should be unique to avoid confusion (e.g., using "Erfassen" for Capture and "Aufnehmen" for Record). Please see the attached screenshots for context.

Similar bug for German translation for Spectacle was already reported: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506184
German translation was already improved in https://phabricator.kde.org/D30393
Reported version of Spectacle (6.3.5) still uses older translation file, first version which is using improved German translation is 6.4.4: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/spectacle/-/blob/v6.4.4/po/de/spectacle.po?ref_type=tags#L75
