All "Click" have been changed to "Select" under the pretext that one does not click when using a smartphone or a tablet... which indeed creates a lot of inconsistencies...

That's why I have replaced not with just "click" but with "click or tap"

When one clicks or taps in that context, isn't one selecting? Do we have to explain to people how to select?

Clicking is not selecting. When selecting, you make a click, than move the mouse while holding the left button pressed to the end of the selection, and then release it. To highlight the whole code in text area you do not select anything within it, you just click and release!

BTW, clicking and tapping is equal to give a command for doing something, while selecting is not, it just prepares for action related to the selected items, that's why we do not select a button but click it, otherwise it will remain selected but will not initiate any action.

@aaleksanyants Can it be formulated like this? (pick, check, hit)

INSTL_LANGUAGES_DESC="The Joomla interface is available in several languages. Choose your preferred languages by checking the appropriate checkboxes and then install them by hitting the QQ_Next_QQ button.
Note: this operation will take about 10 seconds to download and install every language. To avoid timeouts please select no more than 3 languages to install at a time."

INSTL_CONFPROBLEM="Your configuration file or folder is not writable or there was a problem creating the configuration file. You will have to upload the following code by hand. Hit the text area to highlight all of the code and then copy and paste it into a new text file. Name this file 'configuration.php' and upload it to your site root folder."

INSTL_NOTICEYOUCANSTILLINSTALL="
You can still continue the installation as the configuration settings will be displayed at the end. You will have to manually upload the code. Hit the text area to highlight all of the code and then copy and paste it into a new text file. Name this file 'configuration.php' and upload it to your site root folder."

Github changed the text for the "Next"-button.

I tried to follow this:
Whenever you add a double quote ( " ) in the translation, you actually have to change it to (_QQ_ ) and Joomla will replace that for a ( " ) .

I insert it as code, incase it is not working, it needs to be like this whitout spaces:
_ Q Q _ Next _ Q Q _
Or we just do it like this: 'Next'?

INSTL_LANGUAGES_DESC="The Joomla interface is available in several languages. Choose your preferred languages by checking the appropriate checkboxes and then install them by hitting the _QQ_Next_QQ_ button.

you can use the 'Next' button or the "_QQ_"Next"_QQ_" button

Thank you! Since I'm not native english maybe someone can take a look at the text and decide and correct if needed? Or shall I change it in the en-GB.ini file and than it will be looked at?

Usually @brianteeman will catch it and give his notes.

Ok, great, thank you for info.

@brianteeman Can you give your input please? Thank you.

@roland-d I am not in favour of this change for the reasons explained by hils

I am closing this issue because there is no support from the native speakers. Thank you for your contribution.
