Oh, you mean the text? Hmm, good question. This is something Laurent will have to answer.
But here’s my take: It’s rather complicated to change text after the fact. This part is now translated for probably all languages by now. If we were to change the text in the code, the translations are gone. And if we changed the source in all translations, it would basically be ok in English but all other languages would still use the translation for "Automatically update the application”.
But I agree, the text should read: “Check for updates automatically”.
