The trouble has been resolved. ( AddQuicktag 2.6.1 )

WordPress4.9.18 AddQuicktag 2.6.1 Japanese ————- This plugin is very useful！ （star*5 ★★★★★） 　 However, after updating, I can no longer save the label name of the button. I typed it in English instead

Old-fashioned interface

Meanwhile in 2021 the plugin could get a new interface … it is hard and confusing to edit there anything.
