When I set the interface language of Scrivener to German, there is an inconsistency in the translation of one menu item: ```nohighlight View > Text Editing > Hide Markup ``` is translated as _Markierung ausblenden_ (literally “Hide Marking” or “Hide Highlighting”), while ```nohighlight View > Text Editing > Display Markup ``` is translated as _Markup einblenden_. I had some difficulty identifying the correct menu item to display markup again after hiding it, when I couldn’t find the name I was looking for. Also, I understand _markup_ to mean either italics, boldface, and underlining, or the code of a markup language such as HTML or Markdown, while in my case the menu item hides the formatted links to comments (and does not hide text markup). I therefore find _markup_ a misleading name for what that menu item does, both in English and German. In German _Markierung_ actually seems more fitting, as what is hidden is the marker of the links. If I had to make a recommendation, I would choose “Hide/Show Comment Link Marker” in English and “Kommentarlink ausblenden/einblenden” in German. ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-06-26 um 14.39.19](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/default/original/3X/6/f/6f26601229e9d8266b74c94276380abd99785475.jpeg) ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-06-26 um 14.39.28](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/default/original/3X/c/8/c85361d3b46abb709ce6f68c35cfc16a9220b063.jpeg) .
