      Issue Summary

      There are multiple areas in Jira Cloud where German translations are either missing or inconsistent with standard naming conventions. In these cases, English terms appear in the UI instead of the expected German translations, which can confuse native German-speaking users.
      This issue negatively impacts user experience and localization quality.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Change Jira UI language to German in profile settings.
      2. Navigate to various common areas such as:User Management,Project settings,Issue creation screen,Notifications and tooltips
      3.Observe that some labels remain in English or use inconsistent terminology.

      Actual Results

      Some UI elements remain untranslated or use incorrect/mixed German-English terms.

      Multiple UI elements display in English instead of German when German is selected as the language.
      Missing translations for buttons, labels, tooltips, and menu items.
      Some translations are incomplete or inconsistent, with incorrect Polish terms used.
      Mixed-language interface leads to confusion and disrupts user flow.

      Expected Results

      All interface elements should be fully translated into German when the language is set to German.
      Translations must be consistent and follow Atlassian’s localization terminology guidelines.
      No English text should appear in the UI when German is selected.
      German users should have a seamless native-language experience throughout Jira.
