1) Launch MuseScore 3.6.2.548020600 (MacOS 12.1) in Gàidhlig (must be launched in this language, so set it, quit and relaunch).

2) Open any score / create new score.

3) Open the File menu (Faidhle).

4) 'Score Properties...' (Roghainnean an sgòir...) is missing.
[This is the issue. The following steps cause a temporary fix until MuseScore is relaunched.]

5) Change language to English (GB)
(many languages work for this step; tested: English GB, Gaeilge, Català, Esperanto, Afrikaans)

6) Without relaunching, check the File menu. 'Score Properties...' now appears.

7) Change language again back to Gàidhlig.

8) Without relaunching, check the File menu (Faidhle). 'Score Properties' (Roghainnean an sgòir...) now appears correctly. It will remain until MuseScore is quit and relaunched, at which point it is gone again.

I am able to reproduce it every time on both machines which are currently at my disposal:
- MacBook Pro (2021) M1 Max: macOS 10.16, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.6.2.548020600, revision: 3224f34
and:
- Mac Mini (Late 2014) Intel i5: OS: macOS 10.16, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.6.2.548020600, revision: 3224f34

I could try on Windows later, too.

It only occurs when MuseScore is launched in Gàidhlig. If it is launched in another language, then switched, it doesn't occur. I have uploaded a short screen recording to YouTube of the issue and the workaround: https://youtu.be/w3ChOjX9qMI

I can reproduce on M1 Mac, macOS 12.3, using MuseScore 3.6.2.

I also noticed something very curious: after launching MuseScore in Gàidhlig, the first time you press Cmd + comma (which is normally the Preferences shortcut), the Score properties dialog appears instead of the Preferences dialog. After closing the dialog and pressing Cmd + comma a second time, the Preferences dialog appears as expected.

(So far Mac only)
Mayve because Mac is a common part of Gàidhlig (Scottish) names ;-)
