Describe the issue you are experiencing

In the user settings under General there is this option:

Strings are located here:

"suspend": {
"header": "Automatically close connection",
"description": "Should we close the connection to the server after being hidden for 5 minutes?"

Describe the behavior you expected

Following the PR https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/pull/6304/files which introduced this option, this "hidden" refers to the browser tab or window.

When this option is enabled the browser connection is dropped after five minutes in the background and bringing it back to the front will cause it to reconnect. This means that the window content will take a while to refresh all entities shown.

The current wording is easy to misread, so the current German translation turned this into "hiding the connection" which makes no sense at all.

To avoid any possible misunderstanding by users or translators it should be changed to

Suspend background connections
For hidden windows or background tabs close the server connection after 5 minutes.

This moves the main purpose into the headline and makes it easier to explain in the description below.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2024.11.3
