Avoid confusion like in https://github.com/nextcloud/translate2/issues/84 due to modern providers appearing in only one section, the task processing section but not in the text providers section. It would be nice to mark the text processing/machine translation/image generation ones as legacy, and maybe even hide them by default by making a collapsible.

The "Free text to text prompt" text can be renamed to/added beside the newer name "Generate text", same as in the Assistant app.

Research direction
Examine the AI admin settings UI in the Nextcloud server repository, likely located under apps/settings. Identify the code rendering the list of AI providers and understand how sections are defined. Research the referenced issue in nextcloud/translate2 for context on confusion. Implement a way to mark older providers as legacy, possibly with a collapsible section, and rename 'Free text to text prompt' to align with the newer 'Generate text' naming.
