Steps to reproduce the issue

While testing Joomla 5.1.0. RC1 during/after the Release Testing meeting, I came across a not so easy to understand message...

I needed to test Batch operations in the Menus Area and I happen to click on All Menu Items...
There, I selected the 'Blog' menu entry (created for me when I installed the Sample Data set), then clicked on Actions --> Batch.

The explanation message (which feels like an error or at least a notice/warning etc yet is not in orange etc ) says:

Batch process the selected menu items

To use batch processing, please first select a Menu in the manager.

yet, that last line is confusing...

It should say:

To use batch processing, please first select the - Select Menu - entry in the dropdown above on this screen.

In case, it is easier to see it in action, please watch the short video below:

J5.1.0-rc1-Message-text-clarification-fix.mp4

Expected result

A better, easier to understand, more descriptive error-like message:

To use batch processing, please first select the - Select Menu - entry in the dropdown above on this screen.

Actual result

To use batch processing, please first select a Menu in the manager.

( not clear. It is English but contextually confusing, leading to incorrect steps ).

System information (as much as possible)

Any Joomla 4.x and 5.x system same message/behavior.

Closing as having a pull request. See #43215 .

@exlemor If you already know that you will make a PR there is no need to create an issue. The PR is enough.

Hi @richard67, sorry about that, it's actually my first PR ever ;) and I initially created an Issue instead of a PR by mistake but @bembelimen was nice enough to walk me through the whole process... :)
