What happened to normal window names in ArchiCAD 26?

The names used to be more descriptive, like Horizontal Multi-Sash Window, etc...?

The libraries are specific to each localization (country/language release).  The names you show are the ones I've always seen in the US.

I recently re-installed the program! That surely changed the names, thank you!

Should I re-install another version to recover the names?

I've never seen names such as "Horizontal Multi-Sash Window" in 23 years of using Archicad.  But, I'm using the USA localization and library.  What localization have you historically been using, and have you installed something different?
