Two FancyZones Editor strings have misleading Japanese translations due to ambiguous English phrasing: - **"Space around zones"** → 「ゾーン周りのスペース」 (generic space/room) — should be 「ゾーン周りの余白」 (margin/padding) - **"Highlight distance"** → 「距離を強調表示」 (distance to visually emphasize) — should be 「隣接するゾーンの検知距離」 (detection distance for adjacent zones) ## PR Checklist - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already. If the work hasn't been agreed, this work might be rejected - [ ] **Tests:** Added/updated and all pass - [ ] **Localization:** All end-user-facing strings can be localized - [ ] **Dev docs:** Added/updated - [ ] **New binaries:** Added on the required places - [ ] [JSON for signing](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/.pipelines/ESRPSigning_core.json) for new binaries - [ ] [WXS for installer](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/installer/PowerToysSetup/Product.wxs) for new binaries and localization folder - [ ] [YML for CI pipeline](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/.pipelines/ci/templates/build-powertoys-steps.yml) for new test projects - [ ] [YML for signed pipeline](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/.pipelines/release.yml) - [ ] **Documentation updated:** If checked, please file a pull request on [our docs repo](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-uwp/tree/docs/hub/powertoys) and link it here: #xxx ## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments Changes to `FancyZonesEditor/Properties/Resources.resx`: - **`Distance_adjacent_zones`** — Rewrote existing comment to explicitly state this is a *detection/snapping proximity distance* (px at which a nearby zone activates), not a visual-emphasis concept. Prevents translators from reaching for 強調表示 ("visually highlight/emphasize"). - **`Space_Around_Zones`** — Added comment clarifying this is *padding/margin* (empty gap in pixels) between zones, not a generic space/area. Guides translators toward 余白 over スペース. - **`Show_Space_Zones`** — Added comment clarifying this is a toggle for enabling/disabling the padding display. ```xml <data name="Distance_adjacent_zones" xml:space="preserve"> <value>Highlight distance</value> <comment>The pixel distance at which an adjacent zone highlights (lights up) when a window is dragged near it. This is about detection/snapping range proximity, not about making something visually stand out.</comment> </data> <data name="Space_Around_Zones" xml:space="preserve"> <value>Space around zones</value> <comment>The size (in pixels) of the padding or margin (empty gap) surrounding each zone. This is about blank space/whitespace between zones, not an area or region.</comment> </data> ``` ## Validation Steps Performed Verified `Resources.resx` is well-formed XML and that the modified entries render correctly in the resource file. No runtime behavior is changed — comments are translator-only metadata consumed by the Touchdown Build localization pipeline. --------- Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: niels9001 <9866362+niels9001@users.noreply.github.com>

But to get started quickly, choose one of the installation methods below:
Download the .exe file from GitHub
Go to the PowerToys GitHub releases, scroll down and select Assets to reveal the installation files, and choose the one that matches your architecture and install scope. For most devices, that would be x64 per-user.
WinGet
Download PowerToys from [WinGet](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli#installing-the-client). Updating PowerToys via winget will respect the current PowerToys installation scope. To install PowerToys, run the following command from the command line / PowerShell:
- User scope installer (default)
winget install Microsoft.PowerToys -s winget
- Machine-wide scope installer
winget install --scope machine Microsoft.PowerToys -s winget
Other methods
There are [community driven install methods](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/powertoys/install#community-driven-install-tools) such as Chocolatey and Scoop. If these are your preferred install solutions, you can find the install instructions there.
