The Bug:
The narration strings for the different block icons displayed within the installations tab for Minecraft: Java Edition are currently untranslatable. This is inconsistent with other screen elements in the Launcher, as icons for operating systems, age limits and versions are all localized.
Below is a table highlighting this issue, with all affected strings listed.
Should be mentioned that most of these block names are already localized for the Java game engine over on Crowdin.
This bug is also reproducible in the latest beta versions b.2.3.647 (New Windows App) and b.2.3.651 (Legacy Windows).
