Confusing German message regarding embedded color profile

Environment/Versions

  • GIMP version: 2.10.32
  • Package: Installer from gimp.org
  • Operating System: Windows

Description of the bug

Probably an old-time bug, but I just noticed it: When loading an image taken with my smartphone, German GIMP pops up a message claiming the image had an embedded color profile "linear TRC from sRGB IEC61966-2.1", manufactured by GIMP. The popup also asks whether to convert the image into the "GIMP built-in Linear sRGB".

Obviously the image made by the smartphone cannot have the GIMP color profile.

Reproduction

Is the bug reproducible? Always

Reproduction steps:

  1. Open image made with smartphone (Color Space: sRGB)
  2. Read popup

Expected result: Correct embedded profile (Linotronic sRGB IEC61966-2.1) should be displayed

Actual result: Wrong embedded profile is being displayed, probably either a translation mistake or swapped parameters.
