  Hopefully, as the whole topic of that dialog is keyboard layouts, it
should clear that "custom layout/keymap/keyboard language". But after
all, my real concern is that it should have standard "..." marker to
hint there's another dialog behind it. And of somewhat concern is that
it's not clear why "Delete" is always inactive (as will be seen by
a casual user), so a word used depends on it. And in this respect,
"Delete keymap" doesn't give more insight than just "Delete" why I
can't delete a keymap, even though there's such button...
