Comment (by folletto):

 FWIW, on .com we iterated on these labels a lot, and we ended up finding
 that this pairing:

 * Uploaded themes
 * WordPress.com themes

 The information architecture context is different, so take this comment
 with some healthy skepticism, yet "Uploaded" even if in the .com context
 is... a bit off... turned out to be clearer than "installed" (confusion
 between activating and installing), "local" (local to what?) and "my"
 (people don't think as "mine" apparently).

 For reference, here's the criteria that were used to select the "Installed
 themes" - "WordPress.org themes" pairing in #37661:

 1. The pair in the sidebar should be semantically consistent: "Installed
 themes" and "WordPress.org themes" are both pairs of adjective+noun that
 identify the place where the themes are.
 2. The structure is symmetric too: "$place themes", which makes this
 control potentially extensible in the future.
 3. While not a priority, it's nice that "WordPress.org themes" reinforces
 the source of the themes and the trust of the site they come from,
 reminding the users where they can find them outside of Customizer. This
 is especially relevant when the installation wasn't manual but provided by
 the host.

 To be clear: this is the list of criteria that were used in the design
 above, but they aren't cast in stone, and we can decide to not match them
 if we have a good reason to.
