Description Tuomas Hietala 2025-05-10 12:11:17 UTC 
Description:
LO has a chart type called "Net". This type of chart is typically called "radar chart" in English (including in MSO):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_chart

As described in Wikipedia, the chart type has also many other names, but I'm not aware of "net chart" being used in English. It could be a naive translation from German: 
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netzdiagramm


Steps to Reproduce:
1. See https://translations.documentfoundation.org/translate/libo_ui-master/chart2messages/en/?checksum=b57ba1bf9d7fd392


Actual Results:
The term "net chart", unfamiliar to most English speakers, is used.

Expected Results:
An idomatic English term is used.
