Why is a menu called "Data", when it has processing functions?

I would possibly name the "Data" menu "Process".

Otherwise, what's the difference between "Insert(ing data)" and "Data"?
Comment 1 Roman Kuznetsov 2023-05-09 05:53:03 UTC 
The difference is

 Insert something, not only data

Wirk with Data

I dislike the idea, -250 from my side

Sure, the items are for *data processing*, but from these two words, the one that is 1) shorter and easier to localize, and 2) carries more semantic symbolism, is “data”. Renaming this menu to “Process” makes it ambiguous for localizers and documentation writers about what is it that is being processed, and creates additional churn to those volunteers who are constantly updating their material to match updates done to the software. I see no advantage in renaming this particular menu.
