This PR fixes some typos in user-visible strings and applies those changes to all translations.

For the changes to the SPI frequency strings, the official “SI Brochure” of the International System of Units (SI) was followed (current revision in English):

They [unit symbols] are printed in lower-case letters unless they are derived from a proper name, in which case the first letter is a capital letter.

A multiple or sub-multiple prefix, if used, is part of the unit and precedes the unit symbol without a separator.

(chapter “5.2 Unit symbols”, p. 33)

The numerical value always precedes the unit and a space is always used to separate the unit from the number.

(chapter “5.4.3 Formatting the value of a quantity”, p. 35)

Therefore, in this case, the correct version is: x MHz.

This is the so called "camel case" widely used in English especially in computer science terms.
I wouldn't say this is an error (I don't like it either but it's commonly accepted)

This is not camel case, that would look like this: reverseHorizontally. This rather looks like title case.

Oh yes you're right. In any case I'm afraid that will have to stay

Ok, no problem, I am going to remove this change.
The idea was to make the naming consistent with “Reverse vertically” in the same dialogue.
