SUMMARY Translatable strings were removed in https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/commit/7823b5b785f312bb59d1383036b2f7768e54adc5 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Widget Explorer 2. Click the category button 3. See the categories OBSERVED RESULT Categories are not translated EXPECTED RESULT Categories are translated SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99 Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It seems that we did not use the strings in plasma-frameworks, but relied on the translations being present in the translation catalog. This should be fixed in the widget explorer.

We can have it look in the plasma-framework translation catalog for these strings, I think. Localization folks may be able to provide more details and guidance.
