Translations are missing (on Linux [Mint 22.2]) for the following default keys A (key.keyboard.a), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 (not 6 and 9) (at key.keyboard.NUMBER respectively). Languages known to be affected include but are not limited to English (US), English (AUS).
To Reproduce:
Open Minecraft 1.21.11 (OS on which bug was found: Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon)
Open Options → Controls → Key binds menu
Key binding for strafe left shows ‘key.keyboard.a’ instead of 'A'
Other untranslated bindings are visible in the Inventory section.
Expected result: When a key binding is set to A (or another key listed), the controls menu shows A (or the other key)
Actual result: When a key binding is set to A (or another key listed), the controls menu (and all in-game appearances such as the Tutorial toasts) shows key.keyboard.A (or the other key).
Environment
Linux Mint 22.2 with Cinnamon, Minecraft: Java Edition version 1.21.11,

Keyboard language is English (Australia) - Identical to English (US)
Have NOT tried reinstalling anything.
No numpad on this computer
This issue also occurs on 26.1-snapshot-1 running on the same machine
Following an uninstall and reinstall of the Minecraft Launcher and installing the game into a new directory (i.e. not .minecraft), the issue persists. (The launcher was uninstalled via apt and did not require logging back in when reinstalled so may not have fully uninstalled)
I was looking into this, and I think it might be caused by GLFW not finding the key names. I’d be curious to see your options.txt and maybe an F3+C crash report for the LWJGL version.
