+fix(app-shell): eight inspector words that already had a catalogue row read it, so zh-CN authors see Chinese there (objectui#10696)
+
+A few designer inspector props passed an English literal although the designer's
+own string catalogue already carried the same English under a key with a zh row.
+So a zh-CN author read English on an otherwise Chinese inspector:
+
+- the dashboard widget inspector's filter-binding field picker, whose search box
+  read `Search fields…`; it now reads `engine.form.searchFields`, the row the
+  dataset inspector's field pickers already read;
+- the view inspector's object picker, whose search box read `Search objects…`; it
+  now reads `engine.inspector.dataset.searchObjects`, the row the dataset
+  inspector's object picker already reads;
+- the field inspector's lookup `dependsOn` chips, whose remove buttons were named
+  `Remove NAME`; they now read `engine.form.removeNamed`;
+- the field inspector's lookup and roll-up filter rows, whose value input read
+  `value`; it now reads `engine.inspector.condition.valuePlaceholder`, the row the
+  condition builder's value input reads;
+- the flow edge inspector's decision-branch picker, whose custom entry read
+  `— Custom —` and whose unnamed branches read `Branch N`; they now read
+  `engine.inspector.flowEdge.branchCustom` (the row the approval-branch picker
+  beside it already reads) and `engine.flowRegion.branchN`;
+- the flow node inspector's container › region › node breadcrumb for a node
+  nested in a `try_catch` or `parallel` region, whose region crumb read `Try`,
+  `Catch` or `Branch N`; it now reads `engine.flowRegion.try`, `.catch` and
+  `.branchN` through the same `displayRegionLabel` the canvas region header
+  already reads, so the canvas and the inspector show the same word. `Body` and
+  an authored branch name pass through as before.
+
+No catalogue row is added or changed, and the en-US text is unchanged.
