Describe the bug
When creating the personal E2E encryption password, the dialogue to save the encryption password does not display the password, but only shows %s in the German translation of the application. This happens in both the desktop app and the browser version. Clicking "copy password" ("Password kopieren") copies the actual password in the clipboard. The password is displayed correctly when switching to English.
How to Reproduce
Switch to German version: Account -> Preferences -> Localization -> Language -> German
Reset your encryption password: Account -> Security -> E2E Encryption -> Reset E2E Key
After logging in, click the "Save your encryption password" banner ("Speichern Sie Ihr Verschlüsselungs-Passwort")
Observe that the password is not printed: "Ihr Passwort lautet: %s"
Describe your Expected behavior
Instead of %s, the encryption password should be displayed.

Research direction
Search the German translation resources for Ihr Passwort lautet or %s, then reproduce the issue through Account → Preferences → Localization → Language → German and Account → Security → E2E Encryption. Done means the saved encryption-password dialogue displays the actual password in German, while the copy-password action continues to work.
