The typo is in the English locale file locale/en-us/setting.lua, on lines 410, 412 and 414. Open those lines and change the word "witch" to "which" in the description strings. Done when those three strings read correctly and the file still loads, which you can check by running the language server's existing tests if the repository has them.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
