--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
At present just two barcodes types from the latest ZXing based zxing-cpp lib
[1] are being used--'QR Code' (aka "Quick Response code"), and 'Code 128'.  

But recent work expanding barcode framework will allow additional changes to
the LibreOffice UI (and API/IDL) to use all supported barcode formats.

While the current "Bar Code..." label incorrectly splits the noun, it also
looses the object recognition of including "QR".

The "QR code" moniker is synonymous to Matrix, or 2D, barcodes. 

It would be just as correct to insert label as "Matrix or 1D Barcode..." or "2D
or 1D Barcode..." or even just "Barcode..." but keeping the "QR code" provides
marketable recognition. 

Best to simply relabel Insert -> Object -> as "QR and Barcode..." and match the
dialog title.
