Some actions inside mscore (for example editing some preferences such as changing the language interface) need a mscore restart for activating. So I guess is would not be so difficult to give mscore a new push button located in the main menu bar or in some submenue) which would achieve this (examples are thunderbird or firefox, which enable such things partially by extensions/plugins).

Any way to pop up a "You have changed settings that require restarting in order to take effect. Restart MuseScore now?" dialog?

Added a restart dialog when language got change or currently language's translation got updated.
Not sure whether and how to dela with changes to any of the settings in Preferences→I/O

Unless it's really needed, I would prefer to not have a restart button, a dialog, more text to translate and more text to read. The translation now changes dynamically. Is there still a need for such a button/dialog?

There are still the I/O settings, and the light/dark theme. But for those as well, the better solution would be to make them dynamic and not need a restart.

Most of the I/O settings should work without restarting. If anyone could test and make a bug report if not. Same for the theme.

Unless this has changed recently, adding a template to the user folder requires a restart before it is available for use. That too, though, should simply be fixed.
