Restart confirmation dialog is confusing #6416

While creating PR: #6415 to fix issue: #4561 I found that the restart confirmation dialog is confusing. My immediate expectation was that pressing cancel would make no changes and I would return to the general settings dialog. However the actual behaviour (as explained in the text) is that pressing cancel meant the general settings dialog would close, and the language change will be applied after the next restart of nvda. This dialog requires careful reading of the dialog in order to understand the outcomes.

The current text is:

For the new language to take effect, the configuration must be saved and NVDA must be restarted. Press enter to save and restart NVDA, or cancel to manually save and exit at a later time.

With ok and cancel buttons.

Perhaps instead:

NVDA must be restarted for the new language to take effect.

With restart now and restart later buttons

One issue with this is that for non-sighted users its not so clear what pressing enter will do, is this a valid concern here?
