Original Pull Request: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/pull/6810

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Describe your changes

The post-install welcome step said "Look for NetBird in your tray" on every OS, but macOS has no system tray — the icon sits in the menu bar. The tray wording stays correct on Windows and Linux.

  • Add welcome.titleMac and welcome.descriptionMac (following the existing settings.advanced.interfaceName.errorMac key convention) to en and all nine translated bundles (de, es, fr, hu, it, ja, pt, ru, zh-CN), each using that language's Apple term for the menu bar (Menüleiste, barra de menús, barre des menus, menüsor, barra dei menu, メニューバー, barra de menus, строка меню, 菜单栏). The ja bundle landed on main (#6790) after the initial commit and was covered after merging main back in.
  • WelcomeStepTray.tsx picks the key via isMacOS(), which it already uses to choose the per-OS screenshot.

Verified: go test ./client/ui/i18n/..., tsc --noEmit, eslint, and prettier --check all pass; key set and placement verified identical across all ten bundles. Not visually verified in the running app (headless session) — the welcome dialog only shows on first launch.

Fixes NET-1411
