Description

Some strings are still untranslated while Crowdin says it's 100% complete for the target language (Japanese) It happens on all languages. Note "Dashboard", "Sections", "Strings":

Likely it's because they are defined in the UI files:

ℤ rg "\"Dashboard\""
src/widgets/Dashboard.ui
4: <widget class="QDockWidget" name="Dashboard">

See https://wiki.qt.io/QtInternationalization

Research direction
Investigate how Qt UI files (.ui) are processed for translations in Cutter. Ensure that strings in QDockWidget titles are extracted and included in the translation files. Check the CMakeLists.txt or build scripts for lupdate and lrelease commands. Look at the existing translation management workflow to identify why strings from .ui files are missing even though Crowdin reports 100% complete.
