Windows Terminal version

1.16.10261.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045 Build 19045

Steps to reproduce

Right-click the tray icon

Actual Behavior

In German localization the first entry is "Fokusterminal".
This means "[the] focus terminal".
I guess it should be the imperative "[do] focus [the] terminal", so it should probably be "Terminal fokussieren".
It still sounds a bit bulky in German, but at least is the probably intended imperative.
Maybe some fellow German can even come up with something nicer.
"Terminal in den Vordergrund bringen" is probably most correct, just a bit lenghty. :-/
