Description
Copying from https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-website/issues/987 where this was seen in AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.11 - raised by @hagman (NOTE: I have not verified this myself)
* **Browser**: N/A
I post this issue here because I downloaded `OpenJDK11U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_11.0.11_9.msi` from the website and followed the create an issue link on https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html .
I suspect a better place might be the obenjdk-binaries repo, but it seems I cannot create issues there.
When running the *.msi (on Windows 2016), some issues exist with the labels and explanatory texts on the feature selection panel relating to two of the four installable features:
1) Localization (at least for German language) is missing for `Associate .jar` -- `Associate .jar files to run with AdoptOpenJDK`
2) Localization (at least for German language) is missing for `JavaSoft (Oracle) registry keys` -- and additionally the explanatory text is buggy: It shows initially as `Overwrites the reg keys HKLM\Software\...\javapath" does not work. You need to reinstall it to recreate the registry keys` and after changing the installation type of this feaature, changes to `Overwrites the reg keys HKLM\Software\JavaSoft (Oracle). After installation of AdoptOpenJDK, Oracle Java runnig from PATH "C:\Program`
Expected behaviour: Explanatory texts are coherent, not subject to unexpected change, and preferably localized

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by running OpenJDK11U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_11.0.11_9.msi on Windows and inspecting the feature selection panel, especially Associate .jar and JavaSoft (Oracle) registry keys. Trace those labels and explanatory texts to their installer definitions and localization entries; done means the text remains coherent and the affected German strings are localized.
