Apps are created in macOS user’s profile using “App Brave Brwoser”. Posted long time ago ( Typo in Italian translation on macOS on shortcuts folder "App Brave Brwoser" ) and seems affecting Windows too ( Brave Apps folder copy to new PC ) both closed without any feedback

A workaround for macOS, since it is a .localized folder, is to edit “~/Applications/Brave Browser Apps.localized/.localized/it.strings” to fix the typo

### Description
A user reported the Italian translation for `Brave Browser` has… a typo in the parent directory when creating an app/shortcut and shows as `App Brave Brwoser` instead on macOS.
User also found a workaround, but should probably be fixed permanently:
