Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [x] I have searched the existing issues

### OS/Web Information

- Web Browser: Firefox 143.0.4
- Local OS: Windows 11
- Remote OS: Docker desktop (WSL) + code server container
- Remote Architecture: x64
- `code-server --version`:
```
1.104.2
b0992ddb3e3b398371da6bcfbe21a70b4d66eb8d
x64
```

### Steps to Reproduce

Docker compose:

```yaml
services:
code-server:
image: ghcr.io/coder/code-server:4.104.2-39

ports:
- 8080:8080

volumes:
- ./.config:/home/coder/.config
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

restart: unless-stopped
```

1. Set up code server using the compose stack above
2. Open `http://localhost:8080` in the browser
3. `f1` -> `configure display language`
4. Select any language except English and install language pack. Tested with Russian, Japanese, Chinese, French.
5. Reload vscode window to change display language
6. Initialize an empty git repository in the workspace folder (`git init`)
7. Switch to VCS tab in vscode and observe "Commit" button at the top not being translated

### Expected

The "Commit" button should be translated by the installed language pack. This is actual behavior in both native vscode and github codespaces.

### Actual

The "Commit" button is untranslated.

This also happens in multiple other places, for example you can see the "Changes" label and commit message placeholder not being translated too on attached screenshots.

### Logs

```shell

```
