Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

Yes. It is related to untranslated text in the “Junction Deviation test” dialog.
Several UI labels are shown in English because they are hardcoded and not included in the .po translation files, so they cannot be localized.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

Description

In the "Junction Deviation test" dialog, several labels and notes are always displayed in English and are not present in the .po translation files.
These strings appear to be hardcoded and not marked for translation, preventing translators from localizing them.

Missing strings

Junction Deviation settings
Start junction deviation:
End junction deviation:
Note: Lower values = sharper corners but slower speeds

These lines cannot be translated because they are not extracted into the .po or .pot files.

Steps to reproduce

Open Calibration → Junction Deviation test
Observe that all labels in the dialog are displayed in English, even when another UI language is selected.

Expected behavior

The UI text should appear localized according to the selected interface language.

Possible cause

The strings are probably defined directly in code (e.g. junction_deviation_test.cpp) without being wrapped in _() or tr(), so they are not captured by the localization system.

Suggested fix

Wrap the affected strings with _() or tr() and regenerate the .pot template so translators can include them in their .po files.

Environment

OrcaSlicer version: 2.3.1
Language: Spanish (es)
OS: Windows 10

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently, translators cannot fix this because those strings do not appear in the .po files.
The only workaround would be to edit and recompile the source code, which is not practical.

Additional context

I am collaborating on the Spanish translation of OrcaSlicer.
This request aims to help improve translation coverage in calibration dialogs and make the UI fully localizable.
Thank you for considering this improvement.
