Description

Currently most menu items and buttons display default language (English) when translation is not available. However, as @shankerwangmiao pointed out in #889, the word counter does not fallback correctly to English. Screenshot:

Research direction

Start by locating the word-counter localization path and compare its missing-translation behavior with menu items and buttons that already fall back to English. Done means the word counter displays English when the selected translation is unavailable; verify against the two screenshots or equivalent language settings.
