Description Nobody - feel free to take it

The Windows menu contains a "Toggle Word Wrap" action, as can be seen in the following screenshot:

In French, that menu item's label is translated to "Basculer le retour à la ligne" (which would be "Toggle the return to line" in English). This is quite unclear, and puzzling since there is no tooltip available.

French has no specific translations for "line wrap" and "word wrap". "renvoi à la ligne automatique" or "retour à la ligne automatique" are both valid translations. Microsoft uses the former: https://support.microsoft.com/fr-fr/office/renvoyer-du-texte-%C3%A0-la-ligne-dans-une-cellule-2a18cff5-ccc1-4bce-95e4-f0d4f3ff4e84

I do not speak English natively, but I recommend reconsidering the situation in English. I am pretty sure a large portion of users couldn't define "Word Wrap". If the label is kept intact, adding a tooltip would surely clarify.
