Description

Description:

Arabic (ar) translations are missing in multiple Account settings screens.
Also, in Preferences -> Global, when the multiselect has no options, the dropdown empty state falls back to Empty unless explicitly localized.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Set language to Arabic.
  2. Open:
    • /account/profile
    • /account/preferences
    • /account/security
    • /account/tokens
    • /account/omnichannel
    • /account/accessibility-and-appearance
  3. In Preferences -> Global, open the "Don't ask me again list" multiselect when there are no options.

Video demo of the issue:

Expected behavior:

All account settings labels/messages are translated to Arabic, and empty dropdown state is localized.

Actual behavior:

Several labels/messages appeared in English, and empty multiselect state could display Empty.

Research direction

Set the interface to Arabic and inspect the account settings routes listed in the reproduction steps, then open Preferences → Global with no multiselect options. Identify the Arabic strings still shown in English and the empty-state label. Done means those account settings messages and the empty dropdown state are localized and the listed flows no longer show English fallbacks.
