Description

I have found some hardcoded strings in various places. For example, the Gestures UI in the management console. I'm also guilty of temporarily using hard coded strings for UI dialogs, which I hopefully always rectify before finalising a PR.

At some point we should do a pass of the whole codebase to identify + fix any such issues.

Research direction

The issue names the management console's Gestures UI and UI dialogs, but no files or tests. Start by locating those UI areas and inventorying hardcoded strings across the codebase; done means the identified UI strings have been internationalised.
