locale: don't translate string "Electrum"
What changed, and why it matters
This is a tiny localization cleanup: the word 'Electrum' (the software's own brand name) is no longer marked for translation in one dropdown menu. It is not a security fix and does not change program behavior in any meaningful way.
No security action needed. Treat as a routine i18n/maintenance commit.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
In electrum/gui/qt/seed_dialog.py, the label for the ‘electrum’ seed type was changed from _(‘Electrum’) to ‘Electrum’. This removes the translatable string marker so the brand name stays as-is across all locales. No logic, validation, or cryptographic code was modified.
