Describe the bug
When you click the main "Connect" button in the desktop client (Windows), there is a subtle change in the inscription to "Preparing...". This behavior has not happened before and it is confusing. There is a feeling of twitchiness and that the client is not working as it should.

To Reproduce

Launch AmneziaVPN windows client.
Configure server connection.
Click button "Connect".
Note that for a moment the button changes the label to "Preparing...", while violating the localization settings.

Expected behavior
The button changes its label to "Connecting..." without briefly switching to "Preparing...".

Screenshots

Unexpected blinking of the "Preparing" label.

It's not a bug, it's just that the "Preparing..." stage is over very quickly.
