Bug description

There is a "Don't show this message again" button that doesn't work, and even if it would, I'm too afraid to click it because I don't know how I can restore the messages, should I want to.

Also, translations are partial and very bad.

Steps to reproduce

Get a network notification

Expected behavior

Good translation and a good hiding mechanism.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Cinnamon's network notification implementation and the related translation strings, then reproduce the notification on Mint 22 with package version 6.0.4. Done means the hide control works with a documented way to restore messages, and the affected text has complete, correct translations.
