Description

Hello!

The i18n of plugin's own UI is perfect, but UI of each particular CPT is rendered by WP itself. And AFAICS inside WP labels are never __()-wrapped. The last chance for this is just before passing them to WP at custom-post-type-ui.php, lines 342 343 519 520 881.

Perhaps you'll find it useful.

Research direction

Start in custom-post-type-ui.php at lines 342-343, 519-520, and 881, where the custom post type labels are passed to WordPress. Trace how each CPT's labels are assembled and determine how translation should be applied before that handoff. Done means the labels for individual CPT UIs can be translated, with the relevant behavior verified in the existing plugin workflow.
