FYI I just created another issue to adjust Local tasks to allow editors faster editing of content – 📌 Improve UX for Local Tasks in Toolbar Active
"Local tasks" is jargon. The local tasks menu is exposed to a wide variety of users with varying levels of technical knowledge. It would be better to use a term which would be more easily recognized by users at all levels of knowledge.
I will disclose that I was totally mystified by this label when the administrator add this to our website, and I consider myself technically knowledgeable.
1. Go to https://simplytest.me
2. In the entry field, type admin_toolbar
3. Choose Admin Toolbar
4. Click Launch Sandbox to create the site
5. Login as admin
6. From the top menu, click Extend
7. In the search field, type toolbar
8. Check Admin tool bar extra tools
9. Click Install
10. From the top menu, choose Configuration, then User interface, then Admin Toolbar Tools
11. Check Enable/Disable local tasks display
12. Click Save configuration
13. From the top menu, choose Admin, then View
Expected result: The newly added menu containing View, Shortcuts, and Edit has a label that would be meaningful to a non-technical person
Actual result: The newly added menu containing View, Shortcuts, and Edit has a label "Local tasks"
14. From the top menu, choose Manage, then Content, then Add content, then Basic page.
15. Type title "Test content"
16. Click Save
Expected result: The newly added menu containing View, Edit, Delete and Revisions has a label that would be meaningful to a non-technical person
Actual result: The newly added menu containing View, Edit, Delete and Revisions has a label "Local tasks"
Replace "Local tasks" with something less technical, perhaps:
For user entity, "This User"
For content entity, "This Content"
This would carry through to whatever type of entities are supported by this module. I did not use the word "entity" in the proposed resolution because that too is jargon.

User interface
Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.
