Research direction
Review the project's translation workflow, including the Crowdin configuration file (e.g., crowdin.yml) and the source translation files (e.g., en.json or similar). Identify the missing strings listed in the issue (e.g., 'Search emojis', 'Toggle Compact Mode', 'Manage Extensions', 'Unload Space') and check if they are present in the source files but not synced to Crowdin, or if they are missing entirely. Examine the issue comments for any maintainer guidance on how to add new strings to the translation system. Ensure the strings are wrapped with the appropriate i18n function in the codebase and added to the translation JSON files.
