Let's try this flow then

Couldn't we put "Add" at the top, as buttons of "Settings" - "Region &
Language" - "Language" or of "Display" - [your display] ? I'm going
to try that.

Sure we can't change 'Universal Access'...

I don't know about which way you are thinking of. Universal access?
Currently GNOME folks are in the process of replacing small dialogs
with popovers (e.g. see latest Files in 3.18).

Let's ignore it for now then!

Network Settings
----------------

I think we need to rename that "Network Connection" or something
similar as all of these are settings, so the word doesn't convey very
useful information.

I'm really unsure as I find it less clear. I'll propose you a prototype
with my thought, but I'm open to change it later.

Let's try, but perhaps not for the prototype to be tested (not sure I
have the time!).
