Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

Yes. It’s related to untranslated text that exists in the .po file but is not shown in the UI. Some dialogs display English text because the strings are hardcoded and not linked to the localization system.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Description

In the "Input Shaper Calibration" dialog, some English strings are displayed even though they already exist in the .po translation file and have proper translations. This suggests the dialog is using hardcoded text rather than localized strings.

Affected text

The following example shows the issue clearly:

Recommended: Set Damp to 0. This will use the printer’s default or the last saved value.

In the .po file, this string exists and is already translated (for example, in Spanish:
"Recomendado: establece Amortiguación en 0. Esto usará el valor predeterminado o guardado de la impresora.")
However, the program still displays it in English.

Steps to reproduce

Open Calibration → Input Shaper Calibration
Select Frequency Test Tower or Fast Tower
Observe the recommendation text near the "Damping" field.

Expected behavior

The string should be localized according to the current UI language, since it already exists in the .po file.

Possible cause

It looks like the dialog text is defined directly in code (possibly in input_shaper_calibration.cpp) without a gettext/tr() call.
If that’s the case, it won’t be extracted into the localization system at runtime.

Suggested fix

Wrap the affected strings with _() or tr() so they are properly localized and loaded from the .po file.

Environment

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

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently, translators cannot fix this issue because the strings are not extracted into the .po files.
The only alternative would be to modify and recompile OrcaSlicer manually, which is not practical for most users.

Additional context

I am contributing to the Spanish translation of OrcaSlicer.
This request aims to help improve localization coverage and make the UI fully translatable.
Thank you for your great work on this project!
