The info of that window in Spanish is:

$ xwininfo         

xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
          would like information by clicking the
          mouse in that window.

I don't think selecting the window by name is a good idea.

Yea the window title shouldn't have been translatable. I'll fix this.

I think the problem is rather that xwininfo is an X11 tool and cannot see any native Wayland windows.

Ah, never mind, I was missing the GDK_BACKEND=x11 override, and didn't notice the warning notification. (I have a better fix for that anyway: #137.)

I've got the same problem in french: '''$ green-recorder
