"przeźrocze"="slajd" in Wikipedia

Maybe the word started in 80's but it certainly has not died then. I still find
occasional users of word "przeźrocze".
According to Wikipedia editors (please see attachment and also
https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slajd) you can see that "slajd" and "przeźrocze"
means the same.
That Wikipedia article has been created in 2004, then edited by different
authors. If something would be not right, then someone would already separate
"przeźrocze" and "slajd" in Wikipedia as two different terms.
In Polish MacOS glossary from 1992 you can see that "slide" is also translated
as "przeźrocze".
https://aresluna.org/attached/terminology/glossaries/mac
It means that Polish "przeźrocze" for English "slide" is not incorrect. The
word "zaniechaj" is explained in more detail in bug #404286
"Przeźrocze" is not old-timey but non-Windows word. If one stops using
"przeźrocze"
and starts using "slajd" then one switched from speaking Polish to speaking
Windows.
I like the translation "Sterowanie prezentacją" though - it's more concise. I
think we should switch to that translation.
